Harry Chapin - Manhood Lyrics
I was laughing horizontallyIn my loose and lusty youthI was feeling well self-satisfiedDeliciously uncouthWhen she slipped out from my coversWith a smileSaying, "You've got a lot to learn, dear boyIt's going to take a while."She said--Manhood--Means that you shouldGet someone else, beside yourselfFeeling goodYou know a real man wouldDo much more than you couldYou know he'd wonder if heunderstood me!I said, "I see, let's start again."She said, "You know you never can."She put her clothes back onShe straightened up my bedShe hit me with a lineThe still does numbers on my headShe says, "Your mind chooses betterThan your hands doYour heart chooses betterThan your glands do!"She said--Manhood--Means that you shouldGet someone else, beside yourselfFeeling goodYou know a real man wouldDo much more than you couldYou know he'd wonder if heunderstood me!I said, "I see, let's start again."She said, "You know you never can."So I stood there in my shortsFeeling ***** just the sameWith her last few wordsI knew I was brand new at the gameShe gave her gentle smileShe slipped out through the doorSaying, "You're my first and only loveJust like all my lvoes before."She said--Manhood--Means that you shouldGet someone else, beside yourselfFeeling goodYou know a real man wouldDo much more than you couldYou know he'd wonder if heunderstood me!I said, "I see, let's start again."She said, "You know you never can."
