First thing I remember was askin', 'Papa, why?'
For there were many things I didn't know.
And daddy always smiled, took me by the hand,
Sayin', 'Someday you'll understand.'

Well, I'm here to tell you now each and every mothers, son.
You better learn it fast, you better learn it young,
'Cause, someday... never comes.

Well, time and tears went by and I collected the dust,
For there were many things I didn't know.
When daddy went away, he said, 'Try to be a man.'
And, 'Someday you'll understand.'

Well, I'm here to tell you now each and every mothers, son.
You better learn it fast, you better learn it young,
'Cause, someday... never comes.

And then, one day in April, I wasn't even there,
For there were many things I didn't know.
A son was born to me, mamma held his hand,
Sayin', 'Someday you'll understand.'

Well, I'm here to tell you now each and every mothers, son.
You better learn it fast, you better learn it young,
'Cause, someday... never comes.
Someday... never comes.

Think, it was September, the year I went away,
For there were many things I didn't know.
And I still see him standing, try'n to be a man.
I said, 'Someday you'll understand.'

Well, I'm here to tell you now each and every mothers, son.
You better learn it fast, you better learn it young,
'Cause, someday... never comes.
Someday... never comes.

Mmmm-mmmm-mmmm....
Mmmm-mmmm-mmmm....
Mmmm-mmmm-mmmm....
