It was kinda weird at first seein' him takin' his time
Openin' doors and curious 'bout what's on my mind
When I felt his kiss, damn, it was somethin' real
When he says he'll call, well, he's that guy that will

That's the difference 'tween a boy and a man
Both say the right things at first, then
True colors come out in the end
Just took some time to see
One breaks your faith in forever
The other puts it back together
Took a while for me to understand
The difference 'tween a boy and a man
Woah, a boy and a man

I thought the way to love was to play their games
I've played, I lost, I made my share of dumb mistakes
At first I didn't know just how much I worth, but
'Cause of him I learned love should never hurt, no

That's the difference 'tween a boy and a man
Both say the right things at first, then
True colors come out in the end
Just took some time to see
One breaks your faith in forever
The other puts it back together
Took a while for me to understand
The difference 'tween a boy and a man
A man, oh
One breaks your faith in forever, woah (Oh, oh)
The other puts it back together, oh

That's the difference 'tween a boy and a man
Both say the right things at first, then
True colors come out in the end
Just took some time to see
One breaks your faith in forever
The other puts it back together
Took a while for me to understand
(Took a while, took a while)
Took a while, but now I can
See the difference 'tween a boy and a man
And a man
A boy and a man
