I went to the reunion of the class of 84
And I saw my own sweetheart who said she'd just divorced
We talked about the good days and the life that we once planned
And then they played a slow one and she asked me to dance
Ten years ago I would not have left her alone
But I just told her about my family back home
When I was a child I played the game
The games the children played
Now that I've become a man I put those things away
Time to take care of what's at hand
Time to be a man
I'll buy you a beer
One that calls me darling, three that call me dad.
I know they'll stand beside me through good times and through bad.
Knowing that they need me gives me the strength I need
to stand up through the walk of life and be all I can be.
When I was a child, I played the games the children played.
But now that I've become a man, I put those things away.
Time to take care of what's at hand.
Ooh, time to be a man.

All right, come on.
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, yeah.
Ooh, time to be a man.

We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
