When I was younger
I told my mother
I said one day I'm gonna make you proud
Now that I'm older
It's so much harder
To say those words out loud
You're growing taller
A little smarter
And one day you're gonna leave home
Oh will you look like your mothers father
Oh when you are fully grown
Ooh ooh ohh oh oh oh...
When I was younger
I asked my father
Why are we so human
Now that I'm older
I think I figured it out
We're just doing what we can
oh oooh oh oh...
'Cause I won't
I won't lay you down
I won't lay you
I won't I won't lay you down, oh no
I won't
I won't lay you down
I won't lay you
I won't I won't lay you down
When I was younger
I told my mother
I said one day I'm gonna make you proud
