His early mornin' (morning) attitude:
You have to drag him out of bed.
Only frosted flakes will do,
He gets that from me ...
Yeah (Yes), he gets that from me.
His curly hair and his knobbly knees,
The way the sun brings those freckles out,
Talk and talk, never miss a beat,
Yeah, he gets that from me ...
He gets that from me.
He looks at me with those big brown eyes,
He's got me in the palm of his hands,
And I swear sometimes it's just like you're here again.
He smiles that little crooked smile,
There's no denying he's your child.
Without him I don't know what I'd do,
He gets that from you ...
Oh, he gets that from you.
How he loves your old guitar ...
Yeah, he's taught himself to play.
He melts my heart: tells me he loves me every day
And cracks a joke at the perfect time,
Makes me laugh when I want to cry.
That boy is everything to me.
He gets that from you ...
He gets that from you.
Last night, I heard him pray:
"Lord, help me and mama make it through.
An' (And) tell Daddy we'll be O.K."
He said he sure misses you ...
He sure misses you.
He really misses you,
He gets that from me ...
