Lyrics When I Grow Up (To Be a Man) (Stereo) - The Beach Boys

When I grow up to be a man

Will I dig the same things that turn me on as a kid?
Will I look back and say that I wish I hadn't done what I did?
Will I joke around and still dig those sound?
When I grow up to be a man?

Will I look for the same things in a woman that I dig in a girl? (14, 15)
Will I settle down fast or will I first wanna travel the world? (16, 17)
Now I'm young and free, but how will it be
When I grow up to be a man?

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

Will my kids be proud or think their old man is really a square? (18, 19)
When they're out having fun, yeah
Will I still wanna have my share? (20, 21)
Will I love my wife for the rest of my life (rest of my life)
When I grow up to be a man?
What will I be when I grow up to be a man?

(22, 23) won't last forever
(24, 25) it's kind of sad
(26, 27) won't last forever
(28, 29) it's kind of sad
(30, 31) won't last forever
(32)
