When I Come Of Age

Where have I been?

What should I be looking for?

What am I gonna be ?

When I Come Of Age?

Will I be strong, yeah yeah?

(Will I be strong?)

Will I be a mighty man?

(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 of land

When I become my man



And what about love?

(What about love?)

Do 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 be true?)

Will you still want to marry me?

I guess I have to wait and see

When I Come Of Age?



My folks say I'm too young for love

But they don't see to understand

That what I feel is love for somebody

A feeling I understand

And Why? I've got that feeling

It's you, girl you're so grand

And I'll love you just as strong

When I become my man



Wait, be patient honey

You've got to believe in me

Wait, wait for me baby

It'll be just you and me

(We're gonna be so happy)

We'll do, 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, yeah?

When, When I Come Of Age, yeah?

(We're gonna be so happy)

Ooh, When, When I Come Of Age, yeah?

Oh, When, When I Come Of Age?

(We're gonna be so happy)

When, When I Come Of Age, yeah?

When, When I Come Of Age?

(We're gonna be so happy)

Oh, When, When I Come Of Age?
