Becoming A Man Lyrics - 13 (original Broadway Cast Recording) - Aaron Simon Gross

*Line not sung 

Evan: *My name is Evan Goldman I live at 224 West Ninety 2nd 

Street in the heart of Manhattan and my life just when to hell 

Evan: Picture me just another cool kid in NYC near the park and MET life is sweet Yankees in the Bronx, pretzels on the street just have good can it get? Who'd have guessed Dad would meet a stewardess moms depressed and her lawyers are mean now I'm stressed life is a disaster and I'm cracking from the strain going totally insane and I'm just about to turn just about to turn God I'm gonna turn 

Everyone: 13 

Evan: Everything switches 

13 

Everything turns around 

13 

End up in stitches 

13 

Hide away underground 

13 

Can i get through it? 

13 

Life has changed over night 

13 

How will I do it? Nothing is going right 

Everyone: The best and the worest and the most and the least and the crazy and the scarry and were the standing on the edge 

Evan: *You wanna talk about turning I've got hair growing in places I didnt know were places plus my parents are splitting up plus plus i have to have my bar mitzvah the one event that defines you the jewish superbowl 

Evan: 12 yrs old everything that used to be good as gold starts to crumble and crack 

Evan, Richie, Simon: Pressure mounts once it was a joke now it really counts and there's no turning back 

Evan,Richie, Simon, Cassie, and Charolette: Life goes wrong 

Simon: Suddenly their yelling cause your hairs too long 

Cassie: Or your room isn't clean 

All 5: Roll a long 

Evan: Every conversation is another lost cause or a list of flaws and I'm just about to turn just to turn God I'm gonna turn 

Everyone: 13 

Richie: I want a dirtbike 

13 

Lucy: I wanna kill my ma 

13 

Eddie: I want a mustache 

13 

Cassie: I want a wonder bra 

13 

Can I get through it? 

13 

All of the grown-up stuff 

13 

How will do it? 

13 

When am I old enough 

Everyone: Why is the world feeling suddenly stranger? 

Why are my friends acting totally weird? 

Why do I feel like my life is in danger? 

Why do I feel like my brain dissapeared? 

Molly: How will I get through a year of spanish? 

Simon: How can I not look dumb track? 

Brett: How do I gain 20 pounds by Friday? 

Malcom: How do I make my voice not crack? 

Everyone: I wanna fly wanna run wanna drive wanna get rich wanna get drunk wanna get out wanna get my braces off wanna get my nose pierced wanna grow my hair long but all I keep hearing is 

No you're not ready 

No it's not time yet 

No it's not right now 

Wait until you're older
