When I grow up to be a man
Will I dig the same things that turn me on as a kid
Will I look back and say that I wish I hadn't done what I did
Will I joke around and still dig those sounds
When I grow up to be a man
Will I look for the same things in a woman that I dig in a girl
Fourteen fifteen
Will I settle down fast or will I first wanna travel the world
Sixteen seventeen
Well I'm young and free but how will it be
When I grow up to be a man
Oh oh oh
Will my kids be proud or think their old man is really a square
Eighteen nineteen
When they're out having fun yeah will I still wanna have my share
Twenty twenty one
Will I love my wife for the rest of my life
When I grow up to be a man
What will I be when I grow up to be a man
Twenty two twenty three
Won't last forever (twenty four twenty five)
It's kind of sad (twenty six twenty seven)
Won't last forever (twenty eight twenty nine)
It's kind of sad (thirty thirty one)
Won't last forever (thirty two)
