I Want to Be Like You

you'd stand there by my mirror and pretend to shave you tried your best to imitate every move i made if i put ketchup on my fries you always wanted some your mother used to laugh and say boy you are your fathers' son the years have passed and now that little boy more than ever is my pride and joy sometimes i look at you and can't believe somebody as good as you could really come from me now i may never grow up but if i ever do when i grow up i want to be like you i want to be like you i've seen you face temptation and just walk away that's not an easy thing for anyone at any age you've never given in or bowed to pressure from your peers you've demonstrated courage far beyond your years you always said i showed you how to be a man but son your life was molded by a greater hand sometimes i look at you and can't believe somebody as good as you could really come from me now i may never grow up but if i ever do when i grow up i want to be like you i want to be like you now i may never grow up but if i ever do when i grow up i want to be like you son i want to be just like you
