Just Like You - Alec Benjamin

When I was younger, I would argue with my dad

Tell him that I hated him when I was talking back

Blocked his number, can’t believe that I did that

Oh, I didn’t have a reason, wish that I could take it back

But as the years went by

He was always by my side

To wipe all of the tears I cried

Now that I’m older, realize my father

Was doing the best he could do

Told him, «One day, I’ll have a son or a daughter

And when I’m a father too

I hope that I am just like you»

I hope that I am just like you

I hope that I am just like you

I hope that I am just like you

Now I realize that he had struggles of his own

How could I be so selfish, oh, how could I block his phone?

I remember when my father lost his job

He held our home together for the family, he was strong

And as the years went by

He was always by my side

To wipe all of the tears I cried

Now that I’m older, realize my father

Was doing the best he could do

Told him, «One day, I’ll have a son or a daughter

And when I’m a father too

I hope that I am just like you»

I hope that I am just like you

I hope that I am just like you

I hope that I am just like you

(I hope that I am just like you)

I hope that I am just like you

(I hope that I am just like you)

I hope that I am just like

(I hope that I am just like you)

I hope that I am just like

(I hope that I am just like)

Now that I’m older, realize my father

Was doing the best he could do

Told him, «One day, I’ll have a son or a daughter

And when I’m a father too

I hope that I am just like you»

I hope that I am just like you

I hope that I am just like you

I hope that I am just like you
