I remember saying I don´t care either way
Just as long as he or she is healthy I´m ok
Then the doctor pointed to the corner of the screen
And said "You see that thing right there well you know what that means"

And I started wondering who he was going to be
And I thought heaven help us if he´s anything like me
He´ll probably climb a tree too tall and ride hes bike to fast
End up every summer wearing something in a cast
He´s gonna throw a ball and break some glass in a window down the street
He´s gonna get in trouble oh he´s gonna get in fights
I´m gonna lose my temper and some sleep
It´s safe to say that I´m gonna get my payback if he´s anything like me

I can see him right now knees all skinned up
With a magnifying glass trying to melt a Tonka truck
Won´t he be a sight with his football helmet on
That´ll be his first love til his first love comes along
He´ll get his heart broke by the time he´s in his teens
And heaven help him if he´s anything like me

He´ll probably stay out too late and drive his car too fast
Get a speeding ticket he´ll pay for mowing grass
He´s gonna get caught skipping class and be grounded for a week
He´s gonna get in trouble we´re gonna get in fights
I´m gonna lose my temper and some sleep
It´s safe to say that I´m gonna get my payback if he´s anything like me

He´s gonna love me and hate me along the way
Years are gonna fly by I already dread the day
He´s gonna hug his momma, he´s gonna shake my hand
He´s gonna act like he cant wait to leave
But as he drives out he´ll cry his eyes out
If he´s anything like me there´s worse folks to be like
Aw he´ll be alright if he´s anything like me
