When I was younger
 I told my mother 
 I said one day I'm gonna make you proud
 Now that I'm older
 It's so much harder
 To say those words out loud

 You're growing taller 
 little smarter
 And one day you're gonna leave home
 Oh will you look like your mothers father
 Oh when you are fully grown

 Ooh ooh ohh oh oh oh...

 When I was younger 
 I asked my father 
 Why are we so human 
 Now that I'm older
 I think I figured it out
 We're just doing what we can 

 oh oooh oh oh...

 'Cause I won't 
 I won't lay you down 
 I won't lay you 
 I won't I won't lay you down, oh no
 I won't 
 I won't lay you down 
 I won't lay you 
 I won't I won't lay you down

 When I was younger 
 I told my mother
 I said one day I'm gonna make you proud
