The Apple Don't Fall

You know, G (what's up Dad?) When we be traveling around and I meet a lot of people they always mistake me for you They be going, "Hey, Gerald Levert!" I always hear them ladies talking about "You'll never be like your daddy, you're okay, but you'll never be your daddy" Well, I guess that means we're doing something right That's only what I've always wanted to do And I just gotta tell you this right here I just wanna let you know How I feel about you See, I've always looked up to you 'Cause I love you and I never doubt you 'Cause you're my daddy, oh yes, you are And I know I can't live without you And I want the world to know that I'm your son And in my book you're number one, oh-oh-oh The apple don't fall (I believe it) too far from the tree (they never lie, yeah) 'Cause I'm just like you (mm-hm) and you're just like me Believe that apple don't fall too far from the tree (from the tree) 'Cause I'm just like you (oh, dad), and you're just like me (can't you see?) I feel like with me and you together, we can conquer the world And I'm so proud of all you've done 'Cause you're my heart, you are my son And when I look at you, I see a picture of me You're looking pretty good, but not as good as me But all I'm trying to say is You're my son, and in my book, you're number one The apple don't fall too far from the tree (from the tree) 'Cause I'm just like you and you're just like me 'Cause apple don't fall too far from the tree (son I adore you, I adore you) 'Cause I'm just like you and you're just like me (Play it buddy) I said son they say, they say that you look like me You walk like me, you talk like me And some folks say that you even look like me Can't help what I do, I grew up watching you And that's what I wanted to be Still I look at you and I say Apple don't fall too far from the tree 'Cause I'm just like you and you're just like me The apple don't fall too far from the tree (said I'm happy about it) 'Cause I'm just like you and you're just like me (said it don't make me mad) Oh, oh, you're my son (son) And you're my father (father) You're my second son (son) Said I love your ma (father, son) I love you So glad we can do this together (father), say Oh, I love you (son) I love you, and you see, you see (wonderful), I said oh It's like I spat you out People ask me if I, if I get mad 'cause they compare you to me But I say no, no, (the apple don't fall too far from the tree) It's only because I love you (said you're my predecessor)
