Lyrics Justin Timberlake – Young Man
Text:
(Da-da
Da-da
Da-da
Yeah, good job…)
I said, young man
Sit down, let me tell you how it’s s’posed to be
How they told to me
I 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 gon’ have to stand for something
Beautiful boy, got it from your momma
Damn, she look good, you might get a sister
By the time you get the picture
If you want a woman this good, gotta clear your system
And it’s all right
If you need to cry, you’ve 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’s s’posed to be
How they told to me
I 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 gon’ 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
Young man
Sit down, let me tell you how it’s s’posed to be
How they told to me
I 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 gon’ 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
Maybe 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 just can’t 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’s s’posed to be
How they told to me
I 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 gon’ have to stand for something
(Daddy!
Is it daddy?
Daddy!
Daddy!
Yes, it’s daddy
Say «I love you, daddy»
«I love you, daddy»)
