When I Come Of Age Lyrics by Michael Jackson

When I Come Of Age

Where have I been?
What should I be looking for?
What am I gonna be when I come of age?
Will I be strong?
Will I de a mighty man
Climb mountains if I can
When I come of age?

Hey yall I think Ill be a movie star
Or travel to some distant star
Yeah thats it Im gonna be an astronaut
And rock it to the moon
And then Ill be the captain of a giant ship
Im gonna take a long, long trip to far off land
When I become a man

And what about love?
Will you still be in love with me?
I sure hope you will be
When I come of age
And will you be true?
Will you still want to marry me?
I guess Ill have to wait and see
When I come of age

My folks say Im too young for love
But they dont seem to understand
That what I feel is love for somebody
A feeling I understand
And while Ive fot this feeling
Its you, girl, youre so grand
And Ill love you girl just as strong
When I come of age

Wait, be patient honey
Youve got to believe in me
Wait, wait for me baby
Itll be just you and me
Well do all the things
We couldnt do before
When when I come of age
Were gonna be so happy
When, when I come of age
