Verse 1:
G7 C7
"Just because you've be-come a young man, now,
G7 C7
There's still some things that you don't understand, now.
G7 C7
Before you ask some girl for her hand, now,
G7 C7
'Keep your freedom for as long as you can now".

"There's some things that I want you to know, now,

The women come and the women gonna go, now,
G7 C7
Before you tell 'em that you love 'em so, now".
