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 lousing up
Messing up
screwing 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
