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
