Ronnie DeVoe - Boys to Men lyrics

[Verse 1:Johnny Gill] Growing up can be a pain You're not a man until you come of age We've given up our teenage years In the effort to pursue our career Who a**umes responsibility Of having to support our families Who's protecting us from harm Is there anyone around, that we can trust [Prehook 1: Ricky + Ralph + Bobby + Ronnie + Michael + (Johnny)] So we search for answers to our questions (Looking for the answers) No answers but we're taught a lesson everytime (Everytime) Through mistakes we've learned to gather wisdom (Ohhhohhh) Life's responsibilities falls in our hands [Hook] Keep on learning, keep on growing (Cause wisdom helps us understand) We're maturing, without knowing (These are the things that change boys to men) [Verse 2] Oh the goals we set may exceed reality Cause failure always is a possibility Who can tell us that we're wrong It's up to us to figure out, what life is all about [Prehook 2] So we search for answers to questions Looking for the answers No answers but we're taught a lesson everytime Through mistakes we've learned to gather wisdom 'cause wisdom helps us see our responsibility [Refrain] I know it is hard sometimes growing up can be a pain Know what I mean know what I mean Is all you have to do is All you have to do is hold on hold on hold on no no no no no baby
