Sometimes I feel like a man With the whole world in the palm of my hand. And sometimes I know a man wouldn't understand. And that's when I need you right there by my side To keep me satisfied. I see myself, I've got whiskers on my chin. I've got a feelin' a whole new world is about to begin. Yeah, it sure looks like it's, it's childhood fears. When girls turn into ladies and a boy becomes a man. From child to man. And my part-time job just doesn't make it anymore And what used to be fun is turning out ot be a bore And my mom and dad, they're about to kick me out the door It's a caravan! It feels like a straight line from child to man. From child to man, oh yeah. Father, I can see what you've been through. And the road you took, well, it's the best that you could do. And some things you told me, you know, they turned out to be true. You said, "When a child get's lonely, it's no different than a man." Well, now I understand. From child to man. From child to man. From child to man.
