Just Like You Lyrics – Alec Benjamin

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

But as the years went by,
He was always by my side
To wipe all of the tears I cried

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”

I hope that I am just like you
I hope that I am just like you
I hope that I am just like you

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

And as the years went by,
He was always by my side
To wipe all of the tears I cried

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”

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 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

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”

I hope that I am just like you
I hope that I am just like you
I hope that I am just like you
