I went to the reunion

Of the class of ?84

And I saw my old sweetheart

Who said she just divorced

We talked about the good days

And the life we once planed

And then they played a slow one

And she asked me to dance

Ten years ago I would not have left her alone

But I just told her about my family back home

When I was a child I played the games that children play

Now that I?ve become a man I put those things away

Time to take care of what?s at hand

Oooh, time to be a man

There?s one that calls me darlin?

And three that call me Dad

I know they?ll stand beside me

In good times and through bad

And knowin? that they need me

Gives me the strength I need

To stand up through the walk of life

And be all I can be

When I was a child I played the games that children play

But now that I?ve become a man I put those things away

Time to take care of what?s at hand

Oooh, time to be a man

When I was a child I played the games that children play

But now that I?ve become a man I put those things away

Time to take care of what?s at hand

Oooh, time to be a man

Oooh, time to be a man

Oooh, time to be a man

All right, come on

Yeah
