Clay Aiken Proud Of Your Boy Lyrics

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 pleasent 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 a loafer

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

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

Well 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
