[Intro]
Well, maybe you know why I'm here
Your daughter and I have been dating for some time now
And you've always been real, real nice to me
I look at your family pictures and I realize that I want the same thing too
I almost feel like I could call you mama and daddy
Really that's what I'm here to talk about

[Verse 1]
Mama, don't you worry 'bout your daughter 'cause you're leaving her in real good hands
I'm a real good man
Now the picture of this man is slowly coming into view
Papa, don't you fret and don't forget that one day you was in my shoes
Somehow you paid your dues
Now you're the picture of the man that I someday wanna be

[Chorus]
I know it's hard watching the changes in our lives
But I wanna make your daughter my wife

[Verse 2]
Mama, don't you worry 'bout your daughter 'cause you're leaving her in real good hands
I'm a real good man
Now the picture of this love is slowly coming into view
Papa, don't you fret and don't forget that one day you was in my shoes
Somehow you paid your dues
Now you're the picture of the man that I someday wanna be
[Chorus]
I know it's hard watching the changes in our lives
But I wanna make, wanna make your daughter my wife

[Verse 3]
Oh, mama, don't you worry 'bout your daughter 'cause you're leaving her in real good hands
I'm a real good man
Now the picture of this love is surely coming into view
Papa, don't you fret and don't forget that one day you was in my shoes
Somehow you paid your dues
Now you're the picture of the man that I someday wanna be

[Outro]
And the picture of this man is surely coming into view
And the picture of my wife is slowly coming into view
And the picture of this love is surely coming into view
Yeah, the picture of this love is surely coming into view
And I'm sure enough, I'm sure that's exactly what I wanna do, mm
The picture of this man is surely coming into view
