Somebody new
It always winds up feeling more like
A job interview
My (2)__________ used to wonder
If she'd ever meet someone
Who wouldn't (3)________ out (4)__________ me and then
Turn around and run

I met the man I call my dad
When I was five (5)__________ old
He (6)________ my mom out to a movie
And for once I got to go

I overheard him pop the question
And I prayed that she'd say yes
And then, all of a sudden

Looking back, all I can say about
All the (8)____________ he did for me

Half the dad (10)________ he didn't (11)________ to be

I met the girl that's now my wife
About three years ago
We had the (12)______________ (13)________________ but

Half the dad (21)________ he didn't have to be

Because he didn't (22)________ to be

You (23)________ he didn't (24)________ to be
