Manhood （LP Version） - Harry Chapin
I was laughing horizontally in my loose and lusty youth
I was feeling well self satisfied deliciously uncouth
When she slipped out from my covers with a smile
Saying You've got a lot to learn dear boy it's going to take a while
She said Manhood means that you should
Get someone else beside yourself feeling good
You know a real man would do much more than you could
You know he'd wonder if he understood me
I said I see let's start again she said You know you never can
She put her clothes back on, she straightened up my bed
She hit me with a line that still does numbers on my head
She says Your mind chooses better than your hands do
Your heart chooses better than your glands do
She said Manhood means that you should
Get someone else beside yourself feeling good
You know a real man would do much more than you could
You know he'd wonder if he understood me
So I stood there in my shorts, feeling naked just the same
With her last few words, I knew I was brand new at the game
She gave her gentle smile she slipped out through the door
Saying You're my first and only love just like all my loves before
She said Manhood means that you should
Get someone else beside yourself feeling good
You know a real man would do much more than you could
You know he'd wonder if he understood me
I said I see let's start again she said You know you never can
