First thing I remember was askin papa, why? ,
For there were many things I didnt know.
And daddy always smiled; took me by the hand,
Sayin, someday youll understand.
Chorus:
Well, Im here to tell you now each and evry mothers son
You better learn it fast; you better learn it young,
cause, someday never comes.
Well, time and tears went by and I collected dust,
For there were many things I didnt know.
When daddy went away, he said, try to be a man,
And, someday youll understand.
Chorus
And then, one day in april, I wasnt even there,
For there were many things I didnt know.
A son was born to me; mama held his hand,
Sayin someday youll understand.
Chorus
Think it was september, the year I went away,
For there were many things I didnt know.
And I still see him standing, tryn to be a man;
I said, someday youll understand.
