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'd pick me up
And you'd kiss my hurt away
Remember what you'd say?
"Boy, you are getting more like him
Each and every day"
Can we have a talk
Like it was yesterday?
Your boy is back in trouble
And he needs you right away
She says she's gonna leave me, mama
Nothing on God's green earth
Will make her stay
I can't live without her, mama
But this time you can't kiss the hurt away
But if I'm so much like my dad
There must have been times you felt her way
So tell me word for word
What he said
That always made you stay
She says she's gonna leave me, mama
But if I'm so much like my dad
There must have been times you felt her way
So tell me word for word
What he said
That always made you stay
