you re a man now boy

Raleigh Ritchie

[Verse 1]
Still got the same feet and the same hands
That I did when they made me, little man
But now I wear a suit and tie and Ray Bans
And I ve swapped the fizzy drinks out for beer cans
I was a Small Soldier and I still am
Can t say what has changed apart from days and
I loved Jurassic Park, well, I still do
Actually, I m the same except that now I take a pill or two

[Chorus]
You re a man now, boy
You re a man now, boy
You re a man now, boy
You re a man now, boy
You re a man now, boy
You re a man now, boy
You re a man now, boy
You re a man now, boy
(I m not growing up, I m aging)
(My mind s incarcerated)
(Still a boy)
(You re a man now, boy)
(And though this body s taller)
(Sometimes I feel smaller)
(Just a boy)
(You re a man now, boy)

[Verse 2]
Pain is still a weakness, still afraid of ghosts
Still partial to a Mars Bar and a Sunday roast
Though now I have to think about the water bills
Still feel a pang of guilt about the snails I killed
I smoke too many cigarettes and drink too much
See the news and feel the blues, I m feeling out of touch
I was an astronaut once upon a time
Now I m tryna stay grounded, keep some order in my life

[Chorus]
You re a man now, boy
You re a man now, boy
You re a man now, boy
You re a man now, boy
You re a man now, boy
You re a man now, boy
You re a man now, boy
You re a man now, boy
(I m not growing up, I m aging)
(My mind s incarcerated)
(Still a boy)
(You re a man now, boy)
(And though this body s taller)
(Sometimes I feel smaller)
(Just a boy)
(You re a man now, boy)

[Chorus]
You re a man now, boy
You re a man now, boy
You re a man now, boy
You re a man now, boy
You re a man now, boy
You re a man now, boy
You re a man now, boy
You re a man now, boy
(I m not growing up, I m aging)
(My mind s incarcerated)
(Still a boy)
(You re a man now, boy)
(And though this body s taller)
(Sometimes I feel smaller)
(Just a boy)
(You re a man now, boy)

[Bridge]
I m not growing up, I m aging
My mind s incarcerated
Just a boy
