Текст песни I Want to Be Like You - Steve Wariner

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
