When you become a man The world is eager to tell you so
\nAlthough those days of climbing trees and ABCs don’t seem so long ago
\nSwing swing up to the sky
\nMind the sun don’t get in your eye
\nWash your hands It’s time for bed
\nShoot The bad man Bang He’s dead<\/p>\n
When you become a man
\nYou’re just a boy who wants bigger toys
\nYour toys are things like pretty girls with teeth like pearls Instead of toy cowboys
\nGet up Daddy Play with the ball
\nPlease may I walk on that wall
\nLet me jump I know that I can
\nBut when will I become a man<\/p>\n
But when you’re a man you must fight for success
\nIt doesn’t come easy You’ll have to confess
\nYou’ll ask yourself why What is it all for
\nUntil you fall in love Then you’ll find even more
\nBut when you become a man
\nThose bachelor days soon hurry by
\nThey fly Those days of taking hearts and breaking hearts
\nWith a very fast goodbye
\nCome to me baby Turn down the light
\nYou’re gonna learn the meaning of sin tonight
\nSince I’ve met you I’ve never been the same
\nAnd by the way What’s your second name<\/p>\n
When you become man
\nYou’ll want a son named after you
\nSo you’ve got to take a wife And build a life
\nBefore your days are through
\nWash the kids They’re in a mess
\nLook at his knees Will you look at her dress
\nAnd why do they scream and fight all day through
\nWhen I was a kid
\nWhen I was a kid I was just like them too
\nWhen you become a man
\nYou’ll lead the way for them to follow you
\nYou’ll try to make their dreams come through
\nBut you will want to do all that you can
