Someday Never Comes

First thing I remember

Was asking Papa, "Why?"

For there were many things I didn't know

And Daddy always smiled

Took me by the hand

Saying, "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

Saying, "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

Mm, mm, mm, mm

Mm, mm, mm, mm

Mm, mm, mm, mm
