Where have I been?
What should I be looking for?
What am I gonna be when I come of age?
Will I be strong?
Will I de a mighty man
Climb mountains if I can
When I come of age?
Hey yall I think Ill be a movie star
Or travel to some distant star
Yeah thats it Im gonna be an astronaut
And rock it to the moon
And then Ill be the captain of a giant ship
Im gonna take a long, long trip to far off land
When I become a man
And what about love?
Will you still be in love with me?
I sure hope you will be
When I come of age
And will you be true?
Will you still want to marry me?
I guess Ill have to wait and see
When I come of age
My folks say Im too young for love
But they dont seem to understand
That what I feel is love for somebody
A feeling I understand
And while Ive fot this feeling
Its you, girl, youre so grand
And Ill love you girl just as strong
When I come of age
Wait, be patient honey
Youve got to believe in me
Wait, wait for me baby
Itll be just you and me
Well do all the things
We couldnt do before
When when I come of age
Were gonna be so happy
When, when I come of age
