Someday Never Comes

First thing I remember was asking papa, "Why?" For there were many things I didn't kno And Daddy always smiled, took me by the hand Saying, "Someday you'll understand" 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 (someday) never comes No, no, someday (someday) never comes Well, 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" 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 (someday) you'll understand Oh, someday (someday) you'll understand 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 (someday) never comes (never comes) No, no, someday (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 standing, trying to be a man 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 (someday) never comes (never comes) No, no, someday (someday) never comes (never comes) Someday (someday) never comes (never comes) Oh, someday never comes
