Just Like Me
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"
Oh 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
Guess the winner called dad
Is a loser called you
And I think you’ll agree oh
You’re just like me

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."
Oh now I see in your eyes
All your secrets and your lies
You are not the lady that you claim
I’m so ashamed oh
You said to do as I say; don’t do as I do
Well I saw you what did. I’ve been doing it too
Now I wish I’ve been warned I’d grow up to be you
'cause I think you’ll agree you’re just like me

Every day parents all of them try breaking the cycle, living a lie
Everyday people, playing the part, right from the start

You said to do as I say; don’t do as I do
Well I saw you what did. I’ve been doing it too
I will take your mistakes and 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 you did. I’ve been doing it too
Don’t mean that you failed, 'cause I became you
Somehow I never knew, but now I can see oh
You’re just like me
