Someday Never Comes

[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
