After cataloguing the similarities between her father and her boy friend, a girl reflects that her therapist might indeed have had a point after all.

Boy in My Life
© 2020 Dan McLaughlin

There’s this boy in my life,
That makes me feel so glad.
There’s this boy in my life,
And he reminds me of Dad.

The way he grunts when I pass him a tool,
He says something dumb and thinks it’s a rule.
The way he curses when he hits his thumb,
But never looks at me and calls me dumb.

There’s this boy in my life,
That makes me feel glad.
There’s this boy in my life,
And he reminds me of Dad.

The way that he just goes and does his work,
The way he smiles when he’s around a jerk.
The way he takes joy in driving a stick,
Thinks my politics are too Bolshevik.

Oh dear Lord don’t let it be,
If he’s Dad, I’m his Mommy!
And If he wants to marry me,
Good thing I’ve had lots of therapy!

There’s this boy in my life,
That makes me feel glad.
There’s this boy in my life,
And he reminds me of Dad.

The way he talks to guys in hardware stores,
He makes sure he tracks no mud on my floors.
The way he lets me takes food off his plate,
Each time he sees me he says I look great

Wooh ooh

There’s this boy in my life,
That makes me feel glad.
There’s this boy in my life,
And he reminds me of Dad
