The Apple Don't Fall

You know, G (what's up Dad?)

When we be traveling around and I meet a lot of people they always mistake me for you

They be going, "Hey, Gerald Levert!"

I always hear them ladies talking about

"You'll never be like your daddy, you're okay, but you'll never be your daddy"

Well, I guess that means we're doing something right

That's only what I've always wanted to do

And I just gotta tell you this right here

I just wanna let you know

How I feel about you

See, I've always looked up to you

'Cause I love you and I never doubt you

'Cause you're my daddy, oh yes, you are

And I know I can't live without you

And I want the world to know that I'm your son

And in my book you're number one, oh-oh-oh

The apple don't fall (I believe it) too far from the tree (they never lie, yeah)

'Cause I'm just like you (mm-hm) and you're just like me

Believe that apple don't fall too far from the tree (from the tree)

'Cause I'm just like you (oh, dad), and you're just like me (can't you see?)

I feel like with me and you together, we can conquer the world

And I'm so proud of all you've done

'Cause you're my heart, you are my son

And when I look at you, I see a picture of me

You're looking pretty good, but not as good as me

But all I'm trying to say is

You're my son, and in my book, you're number one

The apple don't fall too far from the tree (from the tree)

'Cause I'm just like you and you're just like me

'Cause apple don't fall too far from the tree (son I adore you, I adore you)

'Cause I'm just like you and you're just like me

(Play it buddy)

I said son they say, they say that you look like me

You walk like me, you talk like me

And some folks say that you even look like me

Can't help what I do, I grew up watching you

And that's what I wanted to be

Still I look at you and I say

Apple don't fall too far from the tree

'Cause I'm just like you and you're just like me

The apple don't fall too far from the tree (said I'm happy about it)

'Cause I'm just like you and you're just like me (said it don't make me mad)

Oh, oh, you're my son (son)

And you're my father (father)

You're my second son (son)

Said I love your ma (father, son) I love you

So glad we can do this together (father), say

Oh, I love you (son)

I love you, and you see, you see (wonderful), I said oh

It's like I spat you out

People ask me if I, if I get mad 'cause they compare you to me

But I say no, no, (the apple don't fall too far from the tree)

It's only because I love you (said you're my predecessor)
