Dad, I hate to tell ya
Sometimes I wanna slap you in the face
But Dad, I gotta tell ya
If you were gone I'd miss you from this place

Don't go away again
I just wanna be your friend
And if I don't say this now
I'm gonna be sorry
Don't wanna make this same mistake again

Dad, I need to tell ya
Sometimes I wanna walk right out the door
But Dad, I'm gonna tell ya
I'm glad that we don't argue like before

Don't go away again
I just wanna be your friend
And if I don't say this now
I'm gonna be sorry
Don't wanna make the same mistake again

Dad, I need to tell ya
Sometimes its hard to show you how I feel
Dad, I'm gonna tell ya
I wish that all our differences weren't real

Don't go away again
I just wanna be your friend
And if I don't say this now
I'm gonna be sorry
Don't wanna make the same mistake again

I see the older that I get
I'm becoming you
I see the older that I get
I'm becoming, I'm becoming you!

Dad I wanna tell ya
I just wanna take away your pain
