I remember saying I donĀ“t care either way Just as long as he or she is healthy IĀ“m okay Then the doctor pointed to the corner of the screen
And said "You see that thing right there? Well, you know what that means" And I started wondering who he was going to be And I thought heaven help us if heĀ“s anything like me
HeĀ“ll probably climb a tree too tall and ride his bike too fast End up every summer wearing something in a cast HeĀ“s gonna to throw a ball and break some glass in a window down the street
HeĀ“s gonna get in trouble, heĀ“s going to get in fights IĀ“m gonna lose my temper and some sleep ItĀ“s safe to say that IĀ“m gonna to get my payback if heĀ“s anything like me
I can see him right now knees all skinned up With a magnifying glass tryna melt a Tonka truck WonĀ“t he be a sight with his football helmet on ThatĀ“ll be his first love Ā“til his first love comes along HeĀ“ll get his heart broke by the time heĀ“s in his teens And heaven help him if heĀ“s anything like me
HeĀ“ll probably stay out too late and drive his car too fast Get a speeding ticket heĀ“ll pay for mowing grass HeĀ“s gonna get caught skipping class and be grounded for a week
HeĀ“s gonna get in trouble, weĀ“re gonna get in fights IĀ“m gonna lose my temper and some sleep ItĀ“s safe to say that IĀ“m gonna get my payback if heĀ“s anything like me
HeĀ“s gonna love me and hate me along the way Years are gonna fly by, I already dread the day
HeĀ“s gonna hug his momma, heĀ“s gonna shake my hand HeĀ“s going to act like he canĀ“t wait to leave But as he drives out heĀ“ll cry his eyes out If heĀ“s anything like me
ThereĀ“s worse folks to be like Aw, heĀ“ll be alright If heĀ“s anything like me
