I went to the reunion
|
Of the class of ¡®84
|
And I saw my old sweetheart
|
Who said she just divorced
|
|
We talked about the good days
|
And the life we once planed
|
And then they played a slow one
|
And she asked me to dance
|
|
Ten years ago I would not of left her alone
|
But I just told her about my family back home
|
|
When I was a child I played the games that children play
|
Now that I¡¯ve become a man I put those things away
|
Time to take care of what¡¯s at hand
|
Ooo-oo, time to be a man
|
|
There¡¯s one that calls me darlin¡¯
|
And three that call me ¡®Dad¡¯
|
I know they¡¯ll stand beside me
|
In good times and through bad
|
|
And knowin¡¯ that they need me
|
Gives me the strength I need
|
To stand up through the walk of life
|
And be all I can be
|
|
When I was a child I played the games that children play
|
Now that I¡¯ve become a man I put those things away
|
Time to take care of what¡¯s at hand
|
Ooo-oo, time to be a man
|

Ooo-oo, time to be a man

Ooo-oo, time to be a man
|
|
All right, come on, yeah
