Harry Chapin - Manhood lyrics

I was laughing horizontally In my loose and lusty youth I was feeling well self-satisfied Deliciously uncouth When she slipped out from my covers With a smile Saying, "You've got a lot to learn, dear boy It's going to take a while." She said-- Manhood--Means that you should Get someone else, beside yourself Feeling good You know a real man would Do much more than you could You know he'd wonder if he understood me! I said, "I see, let's start again." She said, "You know you never can." She put her clothes back on She straightened up my bed She hit me with a line The still does numbers on my head She says, "Your mind chooses better Than your hands do Your heart chooses better Than your glands do!" She said-- Manhood--Means that you should Get someone else, beside yourself Feeling good You know a real man would Do much more than you could You know he'd wonder if he understood me! I said, "I see, let's start again." She said, "You know you never can." So I stood there in my shorts Feeling naked just the same With her last few words I knew I was brand new at the game She gave her gentle smile She slipped out through the door Saying, "You're my first and only love Just like all my lvoes before." She said-- Manhood--Means that you should Get someone else, beside yourself Feeling good You know a real man would Do much more than you could You know he'd wonder if he understood me! I said, "I see, let's start again." She said, "You know you never can."
