Proud Of Your Boy Lyrics - Clay Aiken

Proud of your boy 

I'll make you proud of your boy 

Believe me, bad as I've been, ma 

You're in for a pleasant surprise 

I've wasted time, I've wasted me 

So say, I'm slow for my age 

A late bloomer, okay, I agree 

That I've been one rotten kid 

Some son, some pride and some joy 

But I'll get over these lousin' up 

Messin' up, screwin' up times 

You'll see, ma, now comes the better part 

Someone's gonna make good 

Cross his stupid heart 

Make good and finally make you 

Proud of your boy 

Tell me that I've been a louse and loafer 

You won't get a fight here, no ma'am 

Say I'm a goldbrick, a goof-off, no good 

But that couldn't be all that I am 

Water flows under the bridge 

Let it pass, let it go 

There's no good reason 

That you should believe me 

Not yet, I know, but 

Someday and soon 

I'll make you proud of your boy 

Though I can't make myself taller 

Or smarter or handsome or wise 

I'll do my best, what else can I do? 

Since I wasn't born perfect like Dad or you 

Mom, I will try to, try hard to make you 

Proud of your boy
