Boys To Men - Men To Boys

At first they said we had cooties Hiding in the strands of our hair Mindless and young A mixture of dirt and cookies in the air Then came the sports They loved so very much Without realizing They were competing for our love After came the puppy love A soft sweet peck on the cheek Holding hands on the playground Hiding behind the cubbies And soon as dust They forget About the girl They once liked But time matures And love is on their doorstep Again They slip to the sidelines This time we think it's real This time we think they care As they wrap their arms around us Their warm embrace we share They finally say three words They once tried to resist And surely we thought they knew That love does exist Till' we're left empty There arms around another Our tears become frozen As they find another lover We thought we couldn't go on with life However we have no choice Men will never be men But boys always boys
