F irst thing I rememb er was asking papa why
For th ere were many things I d idn't know.
And daddy always sm iled and took me by the hand
Sa ying so meday you 'll understand.
Well I'm here to tell you n ow each and every mother's son
That you b etter learn it fa st you better learn it young
'Cause s omeday never com es.
W ell time a nd tears went by and I collected dust.
For th ere were many things I d idn't know.
When daddy went awa y he sa id try to be a man
An d someda y you'll understand.
Well I'm here to tell you n ow each and every mother's son
That you b etter learn it fa st you better learn it young
'Cause s omeday never com es.
A nd then one day in April I wasn' t even there
For th ere were many things I d idn't know.
A son was born to m e. Mama held his hand

Well I'm here to tell you n ow each and every mother's son
That you b etter learn it fa st you better learn it young
'Cause s omeday never com es
'Cause s omeday never com es.
Think it was September the year I went away
For the re were m any things I didn't know.
And sti ll I see him stand ing tryin' to be a man
I said som eday you'll understand.
Well I'm he re to tell you now each and eve ry mother's son
That you be tter learn it fast you bet ter learn it young
'Cause so meday never co mes.
'Cause so meday never co mes.
