When I Grow Up - Nicole C. Mullen (艾琳·妮可·科尔曼)

Written by：Nicole C. Mullen

A little boy the age five

Looked his papa in the eyes

And said I really need to talk with you

Been thinkin' 'bout a lot of things

What it is I want to be

And superman I'm thinkin'

Just won't do

When I grow up I wanna be

When I grow up I wanna be

When I grow up I wanna be

Like you

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

Cause you're my favorite champion of

The game

Boy said

When I grow up I wanna be

When I grow up I wanna be

When I grow up I wanna be

Like you

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 givin' me love

Then quietly he heard his papa say

When I grow up I wanna be

When I grow up I wanna be

Know when I grow up I wanna be

Like you

When I grow up I wanna be

When I grow up I wanna be

When I grow up I wanna be

Like you
