Matt Monro — When You Become a Man

When you become a man The world is eager to tell you so Although those days of climbing trees and ABCs don’t seem so long ago Swing, swing up to the sky Mind the sun don’t get in your eye Wash your hands It’s time for bed Shoot The bad man Bang He’s dead When you become a man You're just a boy who wants bigger toys Your toys are things like pretty girls with teeth like pearls Instead of toy cowboys Get up Daddy, play with the ball Please may I walk on the wall Let me jump I know that I can But when will I become a man? But when you're a man you must fight for success It doеsn’t come easy You’ll have to confеss You’ll ask yourself why What is it all for? Until you fall in love Then you’ll find even more When you become a man Those bachelor days soon hurry by They fly Those days of taking hearts and breaking hearts With a very fast goodbye Come to me baby Turn down the light You’re gonna learn the meaning of sin tonight Since I’ve met you I’ve never been the same And by the way What’s your second name? When you become a man You’ll want a son named after you So you’ve got to take a wife And build a life Before your days are through Wash the kids They’re in a mess Look at his feet Just look at her dress And why do they scream and fight all day through? When I was a kid When I was a kid I was just like them too But when you become a man You’ll lead the way for them to follow you You’ll try to make their dreams come true But you will want to do all that you can When you become a man
