Alec Benjamin Just Like You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
But as the years went by
He was always by my side
To wipe all of the tears I cried

[Chorus]
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"

[Post-Chorus]
I hope that I am just like you
I hope that I am just like you
I hope that I am just like you

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
And as the years went by
He was always by my side
To wipe all of the tears I cried

[Chorus]
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"

[Post-Chorus]
I hope that I am just like you
I hope that I am just like you
I hope that I am just like you

[Bridge]
(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)


[Chorus]
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"

[Post-Chorus]
I hope that I am just like you
I hope that I am just like you
I hope that I am just like you
