He's Just Like Me - The Proclaimers

His father’s pride, his mother’s joy

The end result of love, a beautiful little boy

You think he’s perfect, and that he’ll be The answer to the disappointment that you feel in me But he’s just like me You’ll never own him

You won’t control him

He’ll never phone

You civilise him

And I’ll criticise him and along the way

He’ll grow to be a man

How many mothers

Gaze on their sons

And hope with all their heart

That he’s gonna be the one

Who’ll never roam and never stray

Who’ll understand women better

Than his daddy does

But all I’ve got to say is He’s just like me You’ll never own him

You won’t control him

He’ll never phone

You civilise him

And he’ll criticise him and along the way

He’ll grow to be a man

and then there’ll come a time

With tears and eyes all red when

His girl will say «I blame his mother»

I’ll say «no you blame me instead»

Cause he’s just like me You’ll never own him

You won’t control him

He’ll never phone

She civilised him

And I criticised him and along the way

He grew to be your man

He’s just like me You’ll never own him

You won’t control him

He’ll never phone

You civilise him

And I’ll criticise him and along the way

He’ll grow to be a man
