So Much Like My Dad

(album: Partners - 1986)

I know that I surprised you coming home
It's not my usual time of year
But I've got myself a problem
And I know that I might find the answer here

Remember when I was dad's pride and joy and your little man
Every time that I got hurt, you were there to give a hand
You would pick me up and you'd kiss my hurt away
Remember what you'd say

Boy, you're getting more like him each and everyday
Can we have a talk like it was yesterday?
Your boy's back in trouble and he needs you right away

She said, she's gonna leave me, momma
Nothing on God's green earth will make her stay
I can't live without her, momma
But this time you can't kiss the hurt away

But if I'm so much like my dad
There must've been times you felt her way
So tell me word for word what he said
That always made you stay

She said, she's gonna leave me, momma
But if I'm so much like my dad
There must've been times you felt her way
So tell me word for word what he said
That always made you stay
