Well, maybe you know why I'm here

Your daughter and I have been dating for some time now

And you've always been real, real nice to me

I look at your family pictures and I realize that I want the same thing too

I almost feel like I could call you mama and daddy

Really that's what I'm here to talk about

Mama, don't you worry 'bout your daughter 'cause you're leaving her in real good hands

I'm a real good man

Now the picture of this man is slowly coming into view

Papa, don't you fret and don't forget that one day you was in my shoes

Somehow you paid your dues

Now you're the picture of the man that I someday wanna be

I know it's hard watching the changes in our lives

But I wanna make your daughter my wife

Mama, don't you worry 'bout your daughter 'cause you're leaving her in real good hands

I'm a real good man

Now the picture of this love is slowly coming into view

Papa, don't you fret and don't forget that one day you was in my shoes

Somehow you paid your dues

Now you're the picture of the man that I someday wanna be

I know it's hard watching the changes in our lives

But I wanna make, wanna make your daughter my wife

Oh, mama, don't you worry 'bout your daughter 'cause you're leaving her in real good hands

I'm a real good man

Now the picture of this love is surely coming into view

Papa, don't you fret and don't forget that one day you was in my shoes
