Verse 1:
Walking through the park, it wasn't quite dark
There was a man sitting on a bench
Out of the crowd as his head lowly bowed
He just moaned and he made no sense
He'd just go
Chorus [2X]:
Um, um, um, um, um, um
Um, um, um, um, um, um
Verse 2:
I just couldn't help myself
Yes, I was born with a curious mind
I asked this man just what did he mean
When he moaned if he'd be so kind
And he'd just go
[repeat chorus]
Instrumental break:
F#m [6 bars]

Verse 3:
Now that I've grown up
And the woman I love she has gone
Now that I'm a man, I think I understand
Sometimes everyone must sing this song
Listen to me sing
[repeat chorus; fade 4th time]
1,3: Can't you hear me, now
2: Everybody now
4: One more time, now
