About the Artist
Lyrics
Shhh One, two, one, two, three, four When I grow up to be a man Will I dig the same things that turn me on as a kid? Will I look back and say that I wish I hadn't done what I did? Will I joke around (Oooh, still joke around) And still dig those sounds (Oooh, still dig those sounds) (Will I dig those sounds?) When I grow up to be a man? Will I look for the same things in a woman that I dig in a girl? (Fourteen, fifteen) Will I settle down fast or will I first wanna travel the world? (Sixteen, seventeen) Well, I'm young and free (Oooh, I’m young and free) But how will it be (Oooh, how will it be) (How will it be) When I grow up to be a man? Will my kids be proud or think their old man is really a square? (Eighteen, nineteen) When they're out having fun, yeah, will I still wanna have my share? (Twenty, twenty-onе) Will I love my wife (Oooh, I love my wifе) For the rest of my life (Oooh, rest of my life) (Rest of my life) When I grow up to be a man? What will I be When I grow up to be a man? (Twenty-two, twenty-three) Won't last forever (Twenty-four, twenty-five) (It's kind of sad) Oh, no (Twenty-six, twenty-seven) Won't last forever (Twenty-eight, twenty-nine) (It's kind of sad) Oh, no (Thirty, thirty-one) Won't last forever (Thirty-two, thirty-three) (It's kind of sad) Oh, no (Thirty-four, thirty-five)
