Well I've grown up And I've grown in once again Most of my problems lately They seem to work it out in the end But every now and then my shit tends to hit the fan But you, yeah you will be standing right there With your arm stretched out for my hand I still call my mother on the telephone I still cry like I did when I hurt my elbow when I was a kid But I feel like I am wiser somehow Then when I was a kid But I still need you Even though I'm a little older now Well you see, I'd be lost If you'd never showed me how to be The man I am The man you see The man you wanted me to be But every now and then I get humbled by life's mysteries But you, yeah you will be standing right there With your arm stretched out for my hand I still call my mother on the telephone I still cry like I did when I hurt my elbow when I was a kid But I feel like I am wiser somehow Then when I was a kid But I still need you Even though I'm a little older now I still call my mother on the telephone I still cry like I did when I hurt my elbow when I was a kid But I feel like I am wiser somehow Then when I was a kid But I still need you Even though I'm a little older now
