Lyrics

First thing I remember was askin' papa, "why?"
For there were many things I didn't know
And daddy always smiled; took me by the hand
Sayin', "someday you'll understand."

Chorus:
Well, I'm here to tell you now each and ev'ry mother's 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."

Chorus

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."

Chorus

Think it was september, the year I went away
For there were many things I didn't know
And I still see him standing, try'n' to be a man;
I said, "someday you'll understand."

Chorus

Mmmm-mmmm-mmmm...
