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 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)
 Now I'm young and free, but how will it be
 When I grow up to be a man?

 Oooooo Ooooooo Oooooooo
 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-one)
 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?
 (twenty-two twenty-three)
 Won't last forever
 (twenty-four twenty-five)
 It's kind of sad
 (twenty-six twenty-seven)
 Won't last forever
 (twenty-eight twenty-nine)
 It's kind of sad
 (thirty thirty-one)
 Won't last forever
 (thirty-two . . .)
