When I was younger I told my mother "I say, 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 mother's father Oh, when you are fully grown?
Ooh ooh oh oh oh oho ho . . .
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 ooh oh oh . . .
Because I won't I won't let you down I won't let you I won't let you down, oh now I won't, I won't let you down I won't let you, I won't let you, I won't, I won't let you down
When I was younger, I told my mother "I say, one day I'm gonna make you proud"
