The Proclaimers - He's Just Like Me lyrics

His father's pride, his mother's joy The end result of love, a beautiful little boy You think he's perfect, and that he'll be The answer to the disappointment that you feel in me But he's just like me You'll never own him You won't control him He'll never phone You civilise him And I'll criticise him and along the way He'll grow to be a man How many mothers Gaze on their sons And hope with all their heart That he's gonna be the one Who'll never roam and never stray Who'll understand women better Than his daddy does But all I've got to say is He's just like me You'll never own him You won't control him He'll never phone You civilise him And he'll criticise him and along the way He'll grow to be a man and then there'll come a time With tears and eyes all red when His girl will say "I blame his mother" I'll say "no you blame me instead" Cause he's just like me You'll never own him You won't control him He'll never phone She civilised him And I criticised him and along the way He grew to be your man He's just like me You'll never own him You won't control him He'll never phone You civilise him And I'll criticise him and along the way He'll grow to be a man
