[Verse 1]
First thing I remember, was asking papa "Why?"
For there were many things I didn't know
And Daddy always smiled, took me by the hand
Saying, "someday you'll understand"
[Chorus]
Well, I'm here to tell you now, each and every mother's son
You'd better learn it fast, you'd better learn it young
'Cause someday never comes
[Verse 2]
The 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"
[Chorus]
Well, I'm here to tell you now, each and every mother's son
You'd better learn it fast, you'd better learn it young
'Cause someday never comes
[Verse 3]
And then, one day in April, I wasn't even there
For there were many things I didn't know
A son was born to me, mama held his hand
Saying "someday you'll understand"
[Chorus]
Well, I'm here to tell you now, each and every mother's son
You'd better learn it fast, you'd better learn it young
'Cause someday Never Comes
Ooh, someday never comes
[Verse 4]
Think it was September, the year I went away
For there were many things I didn't know
And I still see him standin, tryin' to be a man
I said, "someday you'll understand"
[Chorus]
Well, I'm here to tell you now, each and every mother's son
You'd better learn it fast, you'd better learn it young
'Cause someday never comes
Ooh someday never comes
[Outro]
Mmm-mmm-mm
Mm-mm-mmm
Hmm-mmm-mm-mm
