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
WELL I'M HERE
TO TELL YOU NOW
EACH AND EVERY
MOTHER'S SON
YOU BETTER
LEARN IT FAST
YOU BETTER
LEARN IT YOUNG
'CAUSE SOMEDAY
NEVER COMES
THE 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
BUT I'M HERE
TO TELL YOU NOW
EACH AND EVERY
MOTHER'S SON
YOU BETTER
LEARN IT FAST
YOU BETTER
LEARN IT YOUNG
'CAUSE SOMEDAY
NEVER COMES
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
WELL I'M HERE
TO TELL YOU NOW
EACH AND EVERY
MOTHER'S SON
YOU BETTER
LEARN IT FAST
YOU BETTER
LEARN IT YOUNG
'CAUSE SOMEDAY
NEVER COMES
OOH SOMEDAY
NEVER COMES
THINK IT WAS SEPTEMBER
THE YEAR I WENT AWAY
FOR THERE
WERE MANY THINGS
I DIDN'T KNOW
AND I STILL
SEE HIM STANDIN'
TRYIN' TO BE A MAN
I SAID SOMEDAY
YOU'LL UNDERSTAND
BUT I'M HERE
TO TELL YOU NOW
EACH AND EVERY
MOTHER'S SON
YOU BETTER
LEARN IT FAST
YOU BETTER
LEARN IT YOUNG
'CAUSE SOMEDAY
NEVER COMES
OOH SOMEDAY
NEVER COMES
