[Verse 1]
You called me first today
Like you still need my map
With your workday bag
And your life on track
You laugh like your father
But your heart is mine
You still steal my fries
Then you say, "I'm fine"
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know
You don't need me
Like you used to
Still, I see
[Chorus]
You're my baby
You're my friend
I'm so proud of the man you've been
You're my baby
All grown up
You stand so tall, but I still lift you up
Oh, my baby
Oh, my friend
I see the boy, and I cheer the man
[Verse 2]
You fix what's broken
Then you stay to talk
You hold your ground
But you're soft where it counts
You show up early
You call me back
You make this hard world
Feel less cold, less flat
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know
You're your own home
You can walk through
On your own
[Chorus]
You're my baby
You're my friend
I'm so proud of the man you've been
You're my baby
All grown up
You stand so tall, but I still lift you up
Oh, my baby
Oh, my friend
I see the boy, and I cheer the man
[Bridge]
If you ever doubt it
Come back here
I'll pour the tea
And pull you near
I won't break
If you move on
I've got my own two hands
I've got my own song
[Chorus]
You're my baby
You're my friend
I'm so proud of the man you've been
You're my baby
All grown up
You stand so tall, but I still lift you up
Oh, my baby
Oh, my friend
I see the boy, and I cheer the man
