He stays up at night till way after dark Feeding the dog that lives in our yard He´ll put on my shoes and stumble around But together we can catch any outlaw in town
The boy tries to be just like me I´m all that he tries to be Watching cartoons on my knee Mamma´s little man and me
He wants to know how this and that goes He´ll play all day on a mountain of clay And he´ll fight with me to show that he´s strong But if he gets hurt it´s mamma he wants
The boy tries to be just like me I´m all that he tries to be Watching cartoons on my knee Mamma´s little man and me
Some day I know he´ll leave us alone Break mamma´s heart, I´ll try to be strong But if I shed a tear I hope he won´t see
The big man is him and the boy is me
The boy tried to be just like me He´s all that I try to be Now I´m watching cartoons on my knees And mamma´s little man is me
