Now I Think As A Man

(альбом: You Gotta Have Love - 1960)

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 being Buffalo Bill
And riding the ponny 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...

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...

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
