Proud of your boy
|
I'll make you proud of your boy
|
Believe me, bad as I've been, Ma
|
You're in for a pleasant surprise
|
|
I've wasted time
|
I've wasted me
|
So say I'm slow for my age
|
A late bloomer, Okay, I agree
|
|
That I've been one rotten kid
|
Some son, some pride and some joy
|
But I'll get over these lousin' up
|
Messin' up, screwin' up times
|
|
You'll see, Ma, now comes the better part
|
Someone's gonna make good
|
Cross his stupid heart
|
Make good and finally make you
|
Proud of your boy
|
|
Tell me that I've been a louse and loafer
|
You won't get a fight here, no ma'am
|
Say I'm a goldbrick, a goof-off, no good
|
But that couldn't be all that I am
|
|
Water flows under the bridge
|
Let it pass, let it go
|
There's no good reason that you should believe me
|
Not yet, I know, but
|
|
Someday and soon
|
I'll make you proud of your boy
|
Though I can't make myself taller
|
Or smarter or handsome or wise
|
|
I'll do my best, what else can I do ?
|
Since I wasn't born perfect like Dad or you
|
Mom, I will try to
|
Try hard to make you
|
Proud of your boy
|
