歌词
Dad was there through my childhood
Strong and stern
Teaching me how to stand tall
What to learn
He said
Walk it off, know you can
Stand your ground, be a man
Real men keep on fighting till they die
Now I know I was wrong
You broke down, you weren't strong
Everything you told me was a lie
I don't know why
Oh
You said to do as I say
Don't do as I do
Well I saw what you did
I've been doing it too
Where's the hero called Dad
I thought that I knew
Now I think you'll agree
Oh
You're just like me
Oh
My mother said be a good guy
Speak your mind
Settle down with a good girl
Sweet and kind
She said
Hold the door, show you care
Treat her right, son beware
A lady never lets you see her shame
Now I see, in your eyes
All your secrets, all your lies
You were not the lady that you claimed
I'm so ashamed
Oh
You said to do as I say
Don't do as I do
Well I saw what you did
I've been doing it too
Now I wish I was born
I'd grow up to be you
'Cause I think you'll agree
Oh
You're just like me
Regular parents, all of them try
Breaking the cycle, living a lie
Everyday people, playing a part
Right from the start
Oh
You said to do as I say
Don't do as I do
Well I saw what you did
I've been doing it too
I will take your mistakes
I'll make them anew
And I think you'll agree
Oh
You're just like me
You said to do as I say
Don't do as I do
Well I saw what you did
I've been doing it too
Doesn't mean that you failed
'Cause I became you
Somehow I never knew
But now I can see
Oh
You're just like me
Yeah
You're just like me
Oh
