lyrics

I was once the child who had to feel out Mommy's new boo
And she'd have dumped me if I left a bad impression on you
But from the very first Lego set we built together
I knew that we'd be in each other's lives forever

And now you've made a father out of me
No steps or halves in our new family

When I met your mom, the tummy flutters they felt so damn real
And the way she loves you just intensified the appeal
What life was like before we met, I no longer know
I missed your birth, but I still get to watch you grow

Because you made a father out of me
No steps or halves in our new family
It doesn't matter that we don't share blood
We're bonded by the law and by our love

I put a ring on it, and we had two more kids of our own
Your little brothers smile when the school bus brings you back home
You're growing up, but I still love you just as much
As I did when our family was just the three of us

I have no use for technicalities
You even look and act like mini-me
