Time To Be A Man Lyrics - John Berry

I went to the reunion 

Of the class of '84 

And I saw my old sweetheart 

Who said she just divorced 

We talked about the good days 

And the life we once planed 

And then they played a slow one 

And she asked me to dance 

Ten years ago I would not of left her alone 

But I just told her about my family back home 

When I was a child I played the games that children play 

Now that I've become a man I put those things away 

Time to take care of what's at hand 

Ooo-oo, time to be a man 

There's one that calls me darlin' 

And three that call me 'Dad' 

I know they'll stand beside me 

In good times and through bad 

And knowin' that they need me 

Gives me the strength I need 

To stand up through the walk of life 

And be all I can be 

When I was a child I played the games that children play 

Now that I've become a man I put those things away 

Time to take care of what's at hand 

Ooo-oo, time to be a man
