Manhood

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."
