When I Grow Up (To Be A Man) - 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…)
