Lyrics:

I wanna be, I wanna be like my Daddy (just like my Dad)
I wanna be, I wanna be like my Daddy

I'd like to tell you 'bout the One I admire
About my hero and my personal friend
From the beginning He's been there to inspire
And I believe He'll be with me till the end

Chorus 1:
I want to be like my Daddy (like my Daddy)
To walk and talk in every way
He loves me more that I'll ever know
I'm growing more like Him everyday (everyday)
Let me say I want to be like my Daddy (like my Daddy)
And it's clear for to see
The reason I want to be like Him
'Cause He's so much a part of me
I wanna be, I wanna be like my Daddy (just like my Dad)
I wanna be, I wanna be like my Daddy

No better teacher could I ever have asked for
Provides for all I want and all that I need
I'm just so proud of my Daddy's example
'Cause He's exactly what I'm working to be

Chorus 2:
I want to be like my Daddy (just like my Dad)
To walk and talk in every way (every way)
He loves me more that I'll ever know (He loves me)
I'm growing more like Him everyday (everyday)
Let me say I want to be like my Daddy
And it's clear for to see
The reason I want to be like Him (I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be)
'Cause He's so much a part of me
I wanna be, I wanna be like my Daddy (just like my Dad)
I wanna be, I wanna be like my Daddy

The world is filled with children needing a Father
Some daddies don't know what exactly to do
My Dad will love you and to Him it's no bother
He's God the Father, let me show Him to you

Chorus 3:
I want to be like my Daddy
To walk and talk in every way
He loves me more that I'll ever know
I'm growing more like Him everyday
Let me say I want to be like my Daddy
And it's clear for to see
The reason I want to be like Him (I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be)
'Cause He's so much a part of me
I wanna be, I wanna be like my Daddy (just like my Dad) (I want to be)
I wanna be, I wanna be like my Daddy (just like my Dad) (like my Daddy)
I wanna be, I wanna be like my Daddy (just like my Dad)
I wanna be, I wanna be like my Daddy (I love you Daddy)
