Someone to play catch with, out in the backyard 00:21

To pick up the pieces of your first broken heart 00:28

Someone to say slow down when you turn 16 00:34

Yeah, I grew up without a dad 00:41

I'm gonna be the best one I can be 00:43

Someone to scare the monsters 00:48

When it's dark in your room 00:52

Someone to put their foot down 00:55

When you want a tattoo 00:58

And not just say I love you 01:02

But show you what it means 01:05

Yeah, I grew up without a dad 01:09

I'm gonna be the best one I can be 01:11

They say dads are supposed to shape you and in a way I guess mine did 01:16

I knew what I wouldn't do if I ever had a kid 01:23

They say history repeats itself 01:30

Well, I guess that's up to me 01:33

Yeah, I grew up without a dad 01:38

I'm gonna be the best one I can be 01:40

Someone to let you fall down and teach you how to get back up 01:45

Teach you how to be sweet like mamma and how to be tough 01:51

Yeah, I'll never be perfect 01:58

But sure as those lines are pink 02:01

Yeah, I grew up without a dad 02:05

I'm gonna be the best one I can be 02:07

They say dads are supposed to shape you and in a way I guess mine did 02:13

I knew what I wouldn't do if I ever had a kid 02:20

They say history repeats itself 02:26

Well, I guess that's up to me 02:30

I grew up without a dad 02:34

I'm gonna be the best one I can be 02:36

02:42

Yeah, I can't change the past 02:56

But the past has sure changed me 02:59

I grew up without a dad 03:07

I'm gonna be the best one I can be 03:09

I said I'm gonna be a dad 03:14

And I'm gonna be the best one I can be 03:16

The best one I can be 03:25

Love you, baby girl 03:32

Lyrics:

[English]

Someone to play catch with, out in the backyard

To pick up the pieces of your first broken heart

Someone to say slow down when you turn 16

Yeah, I grew up without a dad

I'm gonna be the best one I can be

Someone to scare the monsters

When it's dark in your room

Someone to put their foot down

When you want a tattoo

And not just say I love you

But show you what it means

Yeah, I grew up without a dad

I'm gonna be the best one I can be

They say dads are supposed to shape you and in a way I guess mine did

I knew what I wouldn't do if I ever had a kid

They say history repeats itself

Well, I guess that's up to me

Yeah, I grew up without a dad

I'm gonna be the best one I can be

Someone to let you fall down and teach you how to get back up

Teach you how to be sweet like mamma and how to be tough

Yeah, I'll never be perfect

But sure as those lines are pink

Yeah, I grew up without a dad

I'm gonna be the best one I can be

They say dads are supposed to shape you and in a way I guess mine did

I knew what I wouldn't do if I ever had a kid

They say history repeats itself

Well, I guess that's up to me

I grew up without a dad

I'm gonna be the best one I can be

...

Yeah, I can't change the past

But the past has sure changed me

I grew up without a dad

I'm gonna be the best one I can be

I said I'm gonna be a dad

And I'm gonna be the best one I can be

The best one I can be

Love you, baby girl
