Only One I've Had

Some people think it's strange
We've been on a first name basis
Since I was a kid
Way back when I was ten
It might've looked a little different
Wasn't ball games, going fishing
Just like all my friends
Oh, but then again
I wouldn't trade it
I wouldn't change it

And I know a lot of this goes without saying
You taught me best how to love
Just holding mama's hand
The difference between right and wrong
How a boy becomes a man

I may not be yours by blood
And I love you is just understood
I know I never called you dad
But you're the only one I've had

You should know I ain't complaining
Please forgive the way I say it
If it comes off wrong
But what we got is strong

But every time we met a stranger
I never knew just how to answer
Who you were to me
But I know who you were to me

I wouldn't trade it
Wouldn't change it
And I know a lot of this goes without saying
You taught me best how to love
Just holding mama's hand
The difference between right and wrong
How a boy becomes a man

I may not be yours by blood
And I love you is just understood
I know I never called you dad
But you're the only one I've had
The only one I've had
The only one I've known
The only one who made the choice to make us feel like home

You taught me how to love
Holding mama's hand
The difference between right and wrong
How a boy becomes a man

I may not be yours by blood
And I love you is just understood
I know I never called you dad
I've never called you dad
You're still the only one I've had

Some people think it's strange
You're the only one I've had
