Testo 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 the 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

Mmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-mmm-mmm
