When I grow up to be a man Will I dig the same things That turned 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 take both sides? When I grow up to be a man? 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 Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo Will my kids be proud Or think their old man's 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? Won't last forever It's kinda sad Won't last forever It's kinda sad Won't last forever
