I was brought up in a rough neighborhood

Where you learned more in the street than you learned in school yes

Now some of the fellas used to jive me around

But they were only jealous jealous at what I was puttin' down

While they were shootin marbles and climbin' up and down trees

Peggy and Susan would be playin' house with me (Yeah yeah)

I was a mannish a mannish boy (Mannish)

Yeah a mannish a mannish boy (Mannish boy)

I was a devil (At the age of three)

My mama (She used to try and talk to me)

She tried to talk to me

She said: Listen son there s no limit to what you can be

Don't waste your time with Tom Dick and Harry

'Cause the company you keep is the name you will carry

But I went on and dropped out of school

'Cause I thought I was a man

But now at 19 there's a lot of things I don't understand (Yeah yeah yeah)

I was a mannish a mannish boy (Mannish)

Yeah a mannish a mannish boy (Mannish boy)

Don't be too scared

Don't be too scared

Don t be the

I was a mannish a mannish boy (Mannish)

Yeah a mannish a mannish boy (Mannish boy)

I was a mannish a mannish boy (Mannish)

Yeah a mannish a mannish boy (Mannish boy)

I was a mannish a mannish boy (Mannish)

Yeah a mannish a mannish boy (Mannish boy)
