Lyrics

Da-da, da-da
(Yeah, good job)
I said, young man, sit down, let me tell you how it supposed to be
How they told me
He said, young man, if you wanna make God smile
Make plans, you've got to be ready
You don't understand, right now you're a young man
You gonna have to stand for something
Beautiful boy, got it from your mama
Damn, she look good, you might get a sister
By the time you get the picture
If you want a woman this good, you gotta clear your system
And it's alright if you need to cry, you got my permission
You can do anything in the world if you listen
Like a young man
Sit down, let me tell you how it supposed to be
How they told me
He said, young man, if you wanna make God smile
Make plans, you've got to be ready
You don't understand, right now you're a young man
But you gonna have to stand for something
We don't ever back down, don't back down
We don't have to act out, don't act out
And even when you fall, don't stay down
If you need me around, you know I stay down
And anywhere you go, you can go your own way
If you ask me how I know these things
Remember, I once was a young man, yeah
Sit down, let me tell you how it supposed to be
How they told me
He said, young man, if you wanna make God smile
Make plans, you've got to be ready
You don't understand, right now you're a young man, yeah
But you gonna have to stand for something
Someday, somebody's gonna break your heart in two and I'll be there
Someday you're gonna break somebody's heart, that's what we do
One day I'll be gone, son, but right now I'm home
No, you'll never be alone
Baby, someday you'll be talking to your own
Young man, yeah
You know your daddy's so proud of you
My little young man
Mama can't just get enough of you
My little young man, yeah
You know your daddy's so proud of you
My little, young man, yeah
I said, young man
Sit down, let me tell you how it supposed to be
How they told me
He said, young man, if you wanna make God smile
Make plans, you've got to be ready
You don't understand, right now you're a young man
You gonna have to stand for something
(Daddy)
(Is it daddy?)
(Daddy)
(Daddy)
(Yeah, that's daddy)
(Say, "I love you, daddy")
(I love you, daddy)
(Sweet boy)
