I said, "Someday you'll understand"
You better learn it fast
Each and ev'ry mother's son
Well, I'm here to tell you now
And then one day in April, I wasn't even there
Each and ev'ry mother's son
You better learn it young
'Cause, someday never comes
You better learn it young
And I still see him standing, tryin' to be a man
Ooh, someday never comes
Well, I'm here to tell you now
Sayin', "Someday you'll understand"
For there were many things I didn't know
You better learn it fast
You better learn it fast
A son was born to me, mama held his hand
Think it was September, the year I went away
Each and ev'ry mother's son
'Cause, someday never comes
Each and ev'ry mother's son
You better learn it young
You better learn it fast
Well, I'm here to tell you now
'Cause, someday never comes
For there were many things I didn't know
'Cause, someday never comes
And daddy always smiled, took me by the hand
For there were many things I didn't know
Well, time and tears went by and I collected dust
And someday you'll understand"
When daddy went away, he said, "Try to be a man
Well, I'm here to tell you now
You better learn it young
Sayin', "Someday you'll understand"
