Manhood Lyrics - Harry Chapin

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."
