I Hope She's Just Like You

One day, you'll have a daughter and I hope she's just like you That's something my mom used to say to me When I was loud When I tested boundaries When I acted out When I cried too much When I was a child But she never said that When I laughed When I brought home straight As When I drove my first racecar When I fell in love When I graduated college When I bought my first car It was never I hope you have a daughter who's just like you For all the good times The good memories It was only when I was disobedient When I was "too much" My mother wanted me to have a daughter Just like me Because in her eyes That's the punishment I deserved For being a daughter For being her daughter
