When I was just a little boy I used to say
I wish I was a man
I thought I will sing everyday
Having fun with the rand

With everygirl in town everygirl in town
I started chattering to a very old man
And he told me things that make me think
I want to change from being a man

He says look how many things I have done
And there is nothing more I can do
And still there is so much to be done
Boy I wish I was a baby again

If there is one thing left for to do he said
Is to pray to the father up above
If he could only let me live my life a second time
A second time, a second time I know

I know you don't know
But I really want to live my life
I know, I know you don't know
But I really want to live my life
