Proud Of Your Boy Clay Aiken Aladdin
Proud of your boy
I'll make you proud of your boy
Believe bad as I've been, Ma
You're in for a pleasant surprise
I've waisted time
I've waisted me
So say I'm slow for my age
A late blommer, 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 now comes a 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 loffer
You won't get a fight here, no ma'am
Say I'm a gold brick, a goof-off, no good
But 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
