Album: You Gotta Have Love

Now I Think As A Man

(Ruth Roberts - William Katz)

When I was a child I thought as a child
I thought of toys on Christmas morn
Of puppy dog tails and chicken corn
But now I think as a man
Oh, now I think as a man.

And as a man I think of you
And all the things I'd like to do
As a man with a woman
Who's love is untrue.

When I was a boy of six or so
I thought of bein' Buffalo Bill
And ridin' the pony cross the hill
But now I think as a man
Oh, now I think as a man.

And as a man I think of you
And all the things I'd like to do
As a man with a woman
Who's love is untrue.

When I was a freckled face nine or ten
I thought of play in trees all day
And chasing all the girls away
But now I think as a man
Oh, now I think as a man.

And as a man I think of you
And all the things I'd like to do
As a man with a woman
Who's love is untrue.

Has many a year went flying by
Too many a broken heart I smile
At the carefree thoughts when I was a child
Before I thought as a man
Oh, now I think as a man...
