"like my father" lyrics
"like my father"
I wanna come home to roses
And dirty little notes on Post-its
And when my hair starts turning grey
He'll say I'm like a fine wine, better with age
I guess I learned it from my parents
That true love starts with friendship
A kiss on the forehead, a date night
Fake an apology after a fight
I need a man who's patient and kind
Gets out of the car and holds the door
I wanna slow dance in the living room like
We're eighteen at senior prom and grow
Old with someone who makes me feel young
I need a man who loves me like
My father loves my mom
I want a road trip in the summers
I wanna make fun of each other
I wanna rock out to Billy Joel
And flip our kids off when they call us old
He'll accidentally burn our dinner
And let me be the Scrabble winner
And when my body changes shapes
He'll say, "Oh my God, you look hot today"
I need a man who's patient and kind
Gets out of the car and holds the door
I wanna slow dance in the living room like
We're eighteen at senior prom and grow
Old with someone who makes me feel young
I need a man who loves me like
My father loves my mom
And if he lives up to my father
Maybe he can teach our daughter
What it takes to love a queen
She should know she's royalty
I need a man who's patient and kind
Gets out of the car and holds the door
I wanna slow dance in the living room like
We're eighteen at senior prom and grow
Old with someone who makes me feel young
I need a man who loves me like
My father loves my mom
I need a man who loves me like
My father loves my mom

Jax told Variety about "Like My Father" on the 3rd of June, 2021, "I hope that people connect with it. I never really know because I'm always super close to the music. So it's hard for me to look on the outside looking in, but I do know that for me they have set an example, and that is the ideal example of what a couple should be."
The
music video for this song, published on the 3rd of June, 2021, was directed by Jax herself. The video features footage of her parents which the song is dedicated to.
"I wrote a song about the best relationship I've ever known....my mom and dad set the bar pretty high and gave me the perfect example of what love is. So, this Father's Day I wanted to give them this song in return," explained Jax.
