First thing

I remember was asking papa why

For there were many things I didn't know

And daddy always smiled;

Took me by the hand

Saying someday you'll understand

Well I'm 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 didn't know

When daddy went away he said

Try to be a man

And someday you'll understand

Well I'm here to tell you now

Each and evry mothers son

You better learn it fast;

You better learn it young

Cause someday never comes

And then one day in april

I wasn't even there

For there were many things

I didn't know

A son was born to me;

Mama held his hand

Saying someday you'll understand

Well I'm here to tell you now

Each and evry mothers son

You better learn it fast;

You better learn it young

Cause someday never comes

Someday never comes

Think it was september

The year I went away

For there were many things

I didn't know

And I still see him standing

Tryn to be a man;

I said someday you'll understand

Well I'm here to tell you now

Each and evry mothers son

You better learn it fast;

You better learn it young

Cause someday never comes

Someday never comes

Mmmm-mmmm-mmmm

Mmmm
