Lyrics

[Verse 1] A little boy the age five Looked His papa in the eyes And said I really need to talk with you Been thinkin' 'bout alot of things What it is I want to be And superman I'm thinkin' Just won't do [Chorus] When I grow up I want to be When I grow up I want to be when i grow up I want to be Like you [Verse 2] The score is 33 to 9 His high school team is way behind He felt defeated till his papa came Remember if you win or lose I'm always Gon be proud of you You're my favorite champion of The game (the boy said) [Chorus] When I grow up I want to be When I grow up I want to be when i grow up I want to be Like you [Bridge] He came to the door to say goodnight Stopped at a familiar sight Papa was kneelin' down to pray "Dear Father God up above Thanks for showin' me love" Then quietly He heard His papa say [Chorus] When I grow up I want to be When I grow up I want to be when i grow up I want to be Like you [Chorus] When I grow up I want to be When I grow up I want to be when i grow up I want to be Like you
