time to be a man lyrics

I went to the reunion
Of the class of ?84
And I saw my old sweetheart
Who said she just divorced

We talked about the good days
And the life we once planed
And then they played a slow one
And she asked me to dance

Ten years ago I would not have left her alone
But I just told her about my family back home

When I was a child I played the games that children play
Now that I?ve become a man I put those things away
Time to take care of what?s at hand
Oooh, time to be a man

There?s one that calls me darlin?
And three that call me Dad
I know they?ll stand beside me
In good times and through bad

And knowin? that they need me
Gives me the strength I need
To stand up through the walk of life
And be all I can be

When I was a child I played the games that children play
But now that I?ve become a man I put those things away
Time to take care of what?s at hand
Oooh, time to be a man

When I was a child I played the games that children play
But now that I?ve become a man I put those things away
Time to take care of what?s at hand
Oooh, time to be a man
Oooh, time to be a man
Oooh, time to be a man

All right, come on
Yeah
