I see you watching me, your eyes are just like glue

Stuck like glue to every foolish thing I say and do

There's a safer distance still not out of touch

If daddy's quiet it probably means he's thinking way too much



Someday you'll be a man, you'll have a big old brain

You won't need it but you'll try to use it just the same

But it's like any house lonely people roam around

Wasted empty space a maze with only one way out



Nobody ever told me half the things I'm telling you

Even if they had I'd have had the same look that you do

Sometimes you think it and you want to hear it said out loud

If no one else does then it's up to you to shout it out



You'll want to do it all and you'll believe you can

But when the best that you can do becomes all you can stand

You'll know you're just a man when you feel all the weight press down

Next time you're watching me remember that's all I am now
