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 sound? When I grow up to be a man? Will I look for the same things in a woman that I dig in a girl? (14, 15) Will I settle down fast or will I first wanna travel the world? (16, 17) Now I'm young and free, but how will it be When I grow up to be a man? Ooh Ooh Ooh Will my kids be proud or think their old man is really a square? (18, 19) When they're out having fun, yeah Will I still wanna have my share? (20, 21) Will I love my wife for the rest of my life (rest of my life) When I grow up to be a man? What will I be when I grow up to be a man? (22, 23) won't last forever (24, 25) it's kind of sad (26, 27) won't last forever (28, 29) it's kind of sad (30, 31) won't last forever (32)
