Lyrics:When I Grow Up (To Be A Man)

by The Beach Boys

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 and still 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) Now I'm young and free, but how will it be When I grow up to be a man? Oooooo Ooooooo Oooooooo 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-one) Will I love my wife for the 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 (twenty-six twenty-seven) Won't last forever (twenty-eight twenty-nine) It's kind of sad (thirty thirty-one) Won't last forever (thirty-two . . .)
