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)
Now I'm young and free, but how will it be,
When I grow up to be a man
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,..)
