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
