Startin' with me If only I'd have known That later on down the road I'd look back and not like what I see If I had a dime For half the things I did That didn't make no sense at all I'd be living a little higher on the hog I'd have changed a lot of things

And then all of a sudden ah it seemed so strange to me Lookin' back all I can say about all the things he did for me Is I hope I'm at least half the dad that he didn't have to be When a single mom goes out on a date with somebody new It always winds up
