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
(Oooh, still joke around)
And still dig those sounds
(Oooh, still dig those sounds)
(Will I 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)

(Oooh, I’m young and free)

When I grow up to be a man?
Will my kids be proud or think their old man is really a square?
(Eighteen, nineteen)
When they're out having fun, yeah, will I still wanna have my share?
(Twenty, twenty-onе)

Will I love my wife

When I grow up to be a man?

When I grow up to be a man?
