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
