Proud Of Your Boy lyrics

Proud of your boy
I ll make you proud of your boy
Believe me, bad as I ve been, Ma
You re in for a pleasant surprise

I ve wasted time
I ve wasted me
So say I m slow for my age
A late bloomer, Okay, I agree

That I ve been one rotten kid
Some son, some pride and some joy
But I ll get over these lousin up
Messin up, screwin up times

You ll see, Ma, now comes the better part
Someone s gonna make good
Cross his stupid heart
Make good and finally make you
Proud of your boy

Tell me that I ve been a louse and loafer
You won t get a fight here, no ma am
Say I m a goldbrick, a goof-off, no good
But that couldn t be all that I am

Water flows under the bridge
Let it pass, let it go
There s no good reason that you should believe me
Not yet, I know, but

Someday and soon
I ll make you proud of your boy
Though I can t make myself taller
Or smarter or handsome or wise

I ll do my best, what else can I do ?
Since I wasn t born perfect like Dad or you
Mom, I will try to
Try hard to make you
Proud of your boy
