When I was younger, I would argue with my dad Tell him that I hated him when I was talking back Blocked his number, can't believe that I did that Oh, I didn't have a reason, wish that I could take it back But as the years went by, he was always by my side To wipe all of the tears I cried Now that I'm older, realize my father Was doing the best he could do Told him, "One day, I'll have a son or a daughter And when I'm a father too I hope that I am just like you" I hope that I am just like you I hope that I am just like you I hope that I am just like you Now I realize that he had struggles of his own How could I be so selfish, oh, how could I block his phone? I remember when my father lost his job He held our home together for the family, he was strong And as the years went by, he was always by my side To wipe all of the tears I cried Now that I'm older, realize my father Was doing the best he could do Told him, "One day, I'll have a son or a daughter And when I'm a father too I hope that I am just like you" I hope that I am just like you I hope that I am just like you I hope that I am just like you (I hope that I am just like you) I hope that I am just like you (I hope that I am just like you) I hope that I am just like (I hope that I am just like you) I hope that I am just like (I hope that I am just like) Now that I'm older, realize my father Was doing the best he could do Told him, "One day, I'll have a son or a daughter And when I'm a father too I hope that I am just like you" I hope that I am just like you I hope that I am just like you I hope that I am just like you
