Because of you I am this way,
Yes you Grandpa.
You've always been there for me
Yet I've never realized how close we really are
I blame you for my huge nose,
But I'm glad for my ability to speak my mind.
Because of you I am this way,
Yes you Grandpa.
I blame you for my huge feet,
But I'm glad for my height.
Because of you I am this way,
Yes you Grandpa.
I blame you for my loud voice,
But I'm glad for my shyness.
Because of you I am this way,
Yes you Grandpa.
I blame you for my inability to sing,
But I'm glad for my ability to play the piano.
Because of you I am this way,
Yes you Grandpa.
I blame you for my inability to talk in front of people,
But I'm glad for my ability to write.
Because of you I am this way,
Yes you Grandpa.
