[MR. HEERE]
Jeremy
Is in big bad trouble right now
He's ashamed of me, apparently
Still, I gotta help him somehow
I don’t know what he wants
But I know what he needs
He'll need a dad so strong
To help him not slip away
I haven't been a dad for so long
But I think I’m ready today
Situation is grave
Now's the time to be brave
I'm gonna finally make that climb
One leg at a time!

When you love somebody
You put your pants on for them!
When you love somebody
You take a chance just for 'em
Chance just for 'em!
If the road gets muddy
Focus on your goal 'till the rough stuff's gone
When you love somebody
You put your pants on!
I need you, 'cause I do not have the tools
To help with what he’s going through
And I know you know all the rules

[MICHAEL]
But I’m not what he wants

[MR HEERE]
But you're just what he needs
This might be hard, I know
But just suck it up and go!

When you love somebody
You put your pants on for them!
When you love somebody
You take a stance just for ’em
Stance just for 'em!
If the fight gets bloody
Just keep pushing through 'till the pain is gone
When you love somebody
You put your pants on!

[MICHAEL, spoken]
Look, I already tried to help him!
And he called me a loser, so—
[MR. HEERE, spoken]
He called me a loser! So what?
Jeremy's in serious trouble!
And if we give up on him now we may lose him forever!
Then we would be losers, huh?
Is that what you want?

[MICHAEL, spoken]
No...

[MR. HEERE, spoken]
Say it like you mean it!

[MICHAEL, spoken]
No...

[MR. HEERE, spoken]
Say it like you’re in the army!

[MICHAEL, spoken]
No!
Sergeant? I don't know, I—

[MR. HEERE, spoken]
Ten-hut!
[MICHAEL]
When you love somebody
You put your pants on for them

[MR. HEERE]
Wear those pants

[MICHAEL]
Somewhat reluctantly

[MR. HEERE & MICHAEL]
Still, you gotta go!
When you love somebody
You put your pants on for them!
Metaphorically

[MR. HEERE]
Or sometimes actual pants, real literal pants

[MR HEERE & MICHAEL]
It's a classic study
Of the things we do for our best friend!
When you love somebody

[MICHAEL]
You see it 'till the end

[MR. HEERE & MICHAEL]
When you love somebody

[MR. HEERE]
The conclusion's foregone

[MR. HEERE & MICHAEL]
When you love somebody
You put your big boy pants right on
You put your pants on!
