First thing I remember was askin' papa "Why?"
For there were many things I didn't know
And daddy always smiled, took me by the hand
Sayin': "Someday you'll understand"

Well, I'm here tell now each and every mother's son
You better learn it fast, you better learn it young
'Cause "Someday" [bad word] 

Well, time and tears went by and I collected dust,
For there were many things I didn't know
When daddy went away, he said: "Try to be a man
And someday you'll understand"

Well, I'm here tell now each and every mother's son
You better learn it fast, you better learn it young
'Cause "Someday" [bad word] 

And then, one day in April, I wasn't even there
For there were many things I didn't know
son was born to me, mama held his hand
Sayin': "Someday you'll understand"

Well, I'm here tell now each and every mother's son
You better learn it fast, you better learn it young
'Cause "Someday" [bad word] 

Think it was September, the year I went away
For there were many things I didn't know
And I still see him standing, tryin' to be a man
I said: "Someday you'll understand"

But I'm here tell now each and every mother's son
You better learn it fast, you better learn it young
'Cause "Someday" [bad word]
