Now I Think as a Man

(Ruth Roberts - William Katz)



When I was a child I thought as a child

I thought of toys on Christmas morn

Of puppy dog tails and chicken corn

But now I think as a man

Oh, now I think as a man.



And as a man I think of you

And all the things I'd like to do

As a man with a woman

Who's love is untrue.



When I was a boy of six or so

I thought of bein' Buffalo Bill

And ridin' the pony cross the hill

But now I think as a man

Oh, now I think as a man.



And as a man I think of you

And all the things I'd like to do

As a man with a woman

Who's love is untrue.



When I was a freckled face nine or ten

I thought of play in trees all day

And chasing all the girls away

But now I think as a man

Oh, now I think as a man.



And as a man I think of you

And all the things I'd like to do

As a man with a woman

Who's love is untrue.



Has many a year went flying by

Too many a broken heart I smile

At the carefree thoughts when I was a child

Before I thought as a man

Oh, now I think as a man...
