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 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 lay you down
I won't lay you
I won't lay you down, oh now
I won't, I won't lay down
I won't lay you, 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
