I Want to Be Like You

you'd stand there by my mirror and pretend to shave
 you tried your best to imitate every move i made
 if i put ketchup on my fries you always wanted some
 your mother used to laugh and say boy you are your fathers' son
 the years have passed and now that little boy
 more than ever is my pride and joy
 sometimes i look at you and can't believe
 somebody as good as you could really come from me
 now i may never grow up but if i ever do
 when i grow up i want to be like you
 i want to be like you
 i've seen you face temptation and just walk away
 that's not an easy thing for anyone at any age
 you've never given in or bowed to pressure from your peers
 you've demonstrated courage far beyond your years
 you always said i showed you how to be a man
 but son your life was molded by a greater hand
 sometimes i look at you and can't believe
 somebody as good as you could really come from me
 now i may never grow up but if i ever do
 when i grow up i want to be like you
 i want to be like you
 now i may never grow up but if i ever do
 when i grow up i want to be like you
 son i want to be just like you
