Proud Of Your Boy Lyrics

Proud of your boy

 I'll make you proud of your boy

 Believe me, bad as I've been, Ma

 You're in for a pleasant surprise

 

 I've wasted time

 I've wasted me

 So say I'm slow for my age

 A late bloomer, 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, Ma, now comes the 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 loafer

 You won't get a fight here, no ma'am

 Say I'm a goldbrick, a goof-off, no good

 But that 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
