[Intro: Johnny Gill] These are the things that change boys to men [Verse 1: Johnny Gill] Growing up can be a pain You're not a man until you come of age We've given up our teenage years In the effort to pursue our career Who assumes responsibility Of having to support our families? Who's protecting us from harm? Is there anyone around, that we can trust? [Pre-Chorus 1: New Edition & (Johnny Gill)] So we search for answers to our questions (Looking for the answers) No answers but we are taught a lesson every time (Every time) Through mistakes wе've learned to gathеr wisdom (Oh, oh, oh) (Life's responsibilities falls in our hands) [Chorus: New Edition & (Johnny Gill)] Keep on learning, keep on growing (Wisdom helps us understand) We're maturing, without knowing (These are the things that change boys to men) [Verse 2: Johnny Gill] Oh, the goals we set may exceed reality 'Cause failure always is a possibility Who can tell us that we're wrong?
