New Edition – Boys To Men lyrics

Growing up can be a pain.
You're not a man until you come of age.
We've given up our teenage years
In the effort to pursue our careers.
Who assumes responsibility
Of having to support our families.
Who's protecting us from harm.
Is there anyone around that we can trust.

So we search for answers to our questions.
Looking for the answers.
No answers but we are taught a lesson every time.
Every time.
Through mistakes we learned to gather wisdom.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Life's responsibilities falls in our hands. Eh, eh, eh.

Keep on learning, keep on growing.
Wisdom helps us understand.
We're maturing without knowing.
These are the things that change from boys to men.
Oh, oh.

The goals we set may exceed reality,
'Cause failure always is a possibility.
Who can tell us that we're wrong.
It's up to us to figure out what life is all about.

So we search for answers to our questions.
Looking for the answers.
No answers but we are taught a lesson every time.
Every time.
Through mistakes we learned to gather wisdom.
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh.
And wisdom helps us to see our responsibility.

(Eee, eee. eee. Eee, eee, eee.)
Keep on learning, keep on growing. (Yeah.)
Wisdom helps us understand.
We're maturing without knowing. (Yeah.)
These are the things that change boys to men.
Oh, oh, oh. (Eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee.)

(Keep on learning, keep on growing.)
I know it gets hard sometimes, yeah.
Growing up can be a pain.
(We're maturing without knowing.)
(Oooh, yeah.) You're not a man, not a man, oh.
All you got to do, all you got to do is hold on, hold on.
(Keep on learning, keep on growing.)
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Yeah, yeah, keep on growing.
(We're maturing without knowing.)
Who's gonna protect us from our heart, yeah.
You see, life's responsibilities falls in our hands, falls in our hands.
(We search for answers to our questions.)
Yeah, ehhhh, ehhhh, eh, eh, eh, yeah, yeah.
(No answers but we are taught a lesson every time.)
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
(We're maturing without knowing.)
You see, growing up can be a pain, can be a pain.
Can be-e-e-e-e. Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh. Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.
(Ahhh) Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.
