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 every mother’s son
you better learn it fast you better learn it young
’cause someday never comes
the 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 every mother’s 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 every mother’s son
you better learn it fast you better learn it young
’cause someday never comes
ooh someday never comes
4
think it was september the year i went away
for there were many things i didn’t know
and i still see him standin’ tryin’ to be a man
i said someday you’ll understand
well i’m here to tell you now each and every mother’s son
you better learn it fast you better learn it young
’cause someday never comes
oh someday never comes
