Correction Lyrics When You Become A Man by Matt Monro

Lyrics

When you become a man
The world is eager to tell you so
Although those days of climbing trees and ABCs don’t seem so long ago

Swing, swing up to the sky
Mind the sun don’t get in your eye
Wash your hands
It’s time for bed
Shoot
The bad man
Bang
He’s dead

When you become a man
You're just a boy who wants bigger toys
Your toys are things like pretty girls with teeth like pearls
Instead of toy cowboys

Get up
Daddy, play with the ball
Please may I walk on the wall
Let me jump I know that I can
But when will I become a man?

But when you're a man you must fight for success
It doеsn’t come easy
You’ll have to confеss
You’ll ask yourself why
What is it all for?
Until you fall in love
Then you’ll find even more

When you become a man
Those bachelor days soon hurry by
They fly
Those days of taking hearts and breaking hearts
With a very fast goodbye

Come to me baby
Turn down the light
You’re gonna learn the meaning of sin tonight
Since I’ve met you I’ve never been the same
And by the way
What’s your second name?

When you become a man
You’ll want a son named after you
So you’ve got to take a wife
And build a life
Before your days are through

Wash the kids
They’re in a mess
Look at his feet
Just look at her dress
And why do they scream and fight all day through?
When I was a kid
When I was a kid
I was just like them too

But when you become a man
You’ll lead the way for them to follow you
You’ll try to make their dreams come true
But you will want to do all that you can
When you become a man
