When I Grow Up (To Be a Man)

Lyrics

[Chorus: Group] When I grow up to be a man [Verse 1: Mike Love, Brian Wilson, Group] Will I dig the same things that turned 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 (Ooh, still joke around) And still dig those sounds (Ooh, still dig those sounds) (Still dig those sounds) [Chorus: Group] When I grow up to be a man? [Verse 2: Mike Love, Group, Brian Wilson] 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 (Ooh, I'm young and free) But how will it be? (Ooh, how will it be?) (How will it be?) [Chorus: Group] When I grow up to be a man? [Bridge: Group] Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh [Verse 3: Mike Love, Group, Brian Wilson] 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 want to have my share? (Twenty, twenty-one) Will I love my wife (Ooh, I love my wife) For the rest of my life? (Ooh, the rest of my life) (Rest of my life) [Chorus: Group] When I grow up to be a man? What will I be when I grow up to be a man? [Outro: Group, Mike Love, Brian Wilson] (Twenty-two, twenty-three) Won't last forever (Twenty-four, twenty-five) It's kind of sad (No, no) (Twenty-six, twenty-seven) Won't last forever (Twenty-eight, twenty-nine) It's kind of sad (No, no) (Thirty, thirty-one) Won't last forever (Thirty-two)
