Lyrics and translation
Original
I don't ever wanna be the guy who's standin' in the way.
I've always been good with you just callin' me by my name.
And I know there's been a lot of years we drove each other insane, and that's okay.
I just gotta say.
I wasn't there in the beginnin', but I'll be there in the end.
I stepped in in the middle hopin' we could just be friends.
I wouldn't be who I am if it wasn't for you. Who knew?
A great joy in my life could get a little bigger, bein' a father figure.
I ain't ever gonna be the guy who tells you what to do.
You can go out and live your life, I'm always there for you.
But that dinner in late December told me everything I needed to hear.
It was clear, and I was fightin' back my tears.
I wasn't there in the beginnin', but I'll be there in the end.
I stepped in in the middle hopin' we could just be friends.
I wouldn't be who I am if it wasn't for you. Who knew?
A great joy in my life could get a little bigger, bein' a father figure.
Yeah yeah, bein' a father figure.
Oh yeah.
See, I never had much of a dad in my world, had to make it on my own.
And you don't realize it when you're little, but you find out when you're grown. But I got a few guys in my life who love me just like I love you, and I do.
Yeah, you know that's true.
I wasn't there in the beginnin', but I'll be there in the end.
I stepped in in the middle hopin' we could just be friends.
I wouldn't be who I am if it wasn't for you. Who knew?
A great joy in my life could get a little bigger, bein' a father figure.
Yeah yeah, bein' a father figure.
Oh yeah, bein' a father figure.
