When I Grow Up To Be A Man
The Beach Boys
Letra

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 . . .)
