Father Figure

I don't ever wanna be the guy who's standing in the way

I've always been good with you just calling me by my name

And I know there's been a lot of years we drove each other insane

And that's okay, I just gotta say

I wasn't there in the beginning, but I'll be there to the end

I stepped in in the middle hoping we could just be friends

I wouldn't be who I am if it wasn't for you

Who knew, a great joy of my life could get a little bigger

Being a father figure

I ain't ever gonna be the guy who tells you what to do

You can go out and live your life, I'm always there for you

But that dinner in late December told me everything I needed to hear

It was clear, and I was fighting back my tears

I wasn't there in the beginning, but I'll be there to the end

I stepped in in the middle hoping we could just be friends

I wouldn't be who I am if it wasn't for you

Who knew, a great joy of my life could get a little bigger

Being a father figure

Yeah, yeah, being a father figure

Oh yeah

See, I never had much of a dad in my world

Had to make it on my own

And you don't realize it when you're little

But you find out when your grown

But I got a few guys in my life

Who love me just like I love you, and I do

Yeah, you know that's true

I wasn't there in the beginning, but I'll be there to the end

I stepped in in the middle hoping we could just be friends

I wouldn't be who I am if it wasn't for you

Who knew, a great joy of my life could get a little bigger

Being a father figure

Yeah, yeah, being a father figure

Oh yeah, being a father figure, mmhm
