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? (Will I still joke around?)

And still dig those sounds? (Ooh, 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)

Well, I'm young and free (Ooh, I'm young and free)

But how will it be? (Ooh, how will it be?)

When I grow up to be a man?

Will my kids be proud or think their old man's 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? (Ooh, I love my wife)

For the rest of my life? (Ooh, rest of my life)

When I grow up to be a man?
