First thing I remember was askin' papa, Why? , For there were many things I didn't know. And Daddy always smiled; took me by the hand, Sayin', Someday you'll understand.
CHORUS: Well, I'm here to tell you now each and ev'ry mother's son You better learn it fast; you better learn it young, 'Cause, Someday Never Comes.
Well, time and tears went by and I collected dust, For there were many things I didn't know. When Daddy went away, he said, Try to be a man, And, Someday you'll understand.
CHORUS
And then, one day in April, I wasn't even there, For there were many things I didn't know. A son was born to me; Mama held his hand, Sayin' Someday you'll understand.
CHORUS
Think it was September, the year I went away, For there were many things I didn't know. And I still see him standing, try'n' to be a man; I said, Someday you'll understand.
