Time To Be A Man - John Berry

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 of 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

Ooo-oo, 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

Now that I’ve become a man I put those things away

Time to take care of what’s at hand

Ooo-oo, 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

Ooo-oo, time to be a man

Ooo-oo, time to be a man

Ooo-oo, time to be a man

All right, come on, yeah
