First thing I remember was asking papa, why,
B# G B#
For there were many things I didn't know.
F# G#m E
And daddy always smiled and took me by the hand,
B# F# B#
Saying, someday you'll understand.
(chorus ) F# B#
Well, I'm here to tell you now, each and every mother's son,
F# B#
That you better learn it fast, you better learn it young,
C#m E B#
'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...
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,
sayin' someday you'll understand.
Well, I'm here...
