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 y'all I think I'll be a movie star

Or travel to some distant star

Yeah that's it I'm gonna be an astronaut

And rock it to the moon

And then I'll be the captain of a giant ship

I'm 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 I'll have to wait and see

When I come of age



My folks say I'm too young for love

But they don't seem to understand

That what I feel is love for somebody

A feeling I understand

And while I've fot this feeling

It's you, girl, you're so grand

And I'll love you girl just as strong

When I come of age



Wait, be patient honey

You've got to believe in me

Wait, wait for me baby

It'll be just you and me

We'll do all the things

We couldn't do before

When when I come of age

We're gonna be so happy

When, when I come of age
