Proud Of Your Boy

There is a song from Disney's Aladdin that was not part of the cartoon movie.
It is a beautiful song, and I really relate it to gu ys like us who will do anything just to get our family's approval and attention. This song together with Mulan's (another Disney cartoon movie) Reflection (expressing one's desire to be himself, to reveal one's trueself) really does strike me.

Proud of your boy
I'll make you proud of your boy
Believe me, bad as I've been Ma,
You're in for a pleasant surprise.
I've wasted time, I've waste me
So say I'm slow for my age, a late bloomer
Okay, I agree
That I've been one rotten kid
Some son, some pride and some joy
But I'll get over these lousin' up, messin' up, screwin' up times
You'll see, Ma, now comes the better part
Someone's gonna make good cross his stupid heart
Make good and finally make you
Proud of your boy

Tell me that I've been a louse and a loafer
You won't get a fight here, no ma'am
Say I'm a goldbrick, a goof-off, no good
But that couldn't be all that I am
Water flows under the bridge, let it pass, let it go
There's no good reason that you should believe me
Not yet, I know but someday and soon
I'll make you proud of your boy
Though I can't make myself taller or smarter or handsome or wise
I'll do my best, what else can I do?
Since I wasn't born perfect like dad or you
Mama, I will try to, try hard to make you
Proud of your boy

The pop version was sung by Clay Aiken, everytime I hear this song, I can't help get emotional. ;-))
