When I Grow Up

When I grow up to be a man
verse 1:
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?
verse 2:
Will I look for the same things in a woman that I dig in a girl?
Will I settle down fast or will I first wanna travel the world?
Now I'm young and free, but how will it be
When I grow up to be a man?
instrumental break:
verse 3:
Will my kids be proud or think their old man is really a square?
When they're out having fun yeah, will I still wanna have my share?
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?
coda:
Won't last forever It's kind of sad (repeat to fade)
