Lyrics for When I Grow Up (To Be A Man)
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? Oooooo Ooooooo Oooooooo 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...)
