A little boy the age five
|
Looked his papa in the eyes
|
And said I really need to talk with you
|
Been thinkin bout alot of things
|
What it is I want to be
|
And superman I'm thinkin
|
Just won't do.
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
When I grow up I want to be
|
When I grow up I want to be when I grow up I want to be
|
Like you.
|
|
The score is 33 to 9
|
His high school team is way behind
|
He felt defeated till his papa came
|
Remember if you win or lose
|
I'm always
|
Gon be proud of you
|
You're my favorite champion of
|
The game.
|
(The boy said)
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
He came to the door to say goodnight
|
Stopped at a familiar sight
|
Papa was kneelin down to pray
|
"Dear father god up above
|
Thanks for showin me love"
|
Then quietly he heard his papa say
|
|
[Chorus]
|
