Jeremy is in big bad trouble right now It's a trouble that he can't see And I gotta help him somehow I don't know what he wants But I know what he needs He'll need a dad so strong To help him not slip away I haven't been a dad for so long But I think I'm ready today Situation is grave, now's the time to brave I'm gonna finally make that climb, one leg at a time When you love somebody You put your pants on for them When you love somebody You take a chance just for them Chance just for them If the road gets muddy Focus on the goal 'till the rough stuff's gone When you love somebody you put your pants on I need you cause I do not have the tools To help with what he's going through And I know you know all the rules But I'm not what he wants But you're just what he needs And this might be hard I know But just suck it up and go When you love somebody You put your pants on for them When you love somebody You take a stance just for them Stance just for them If the fight gets bloody Just keep pushing through 'till the pain is gone When you love somebody you put your pants on I need you to reach out to him Jeremy won't listen to me and I can't blame him But someone has to watch his back If I try harder to be his friend, you have to try harder to be his dad There's a Khol's down the street I don't care what kind, jeans, khaki, leather You're not leaving that store until you buy a pair You drive a hard bargain, son When you love somebody you put your pants on for them Wear those pants Somewhat reluctantly Still, you gotta go When you love somebody You put your pants on for them Metaphorically or sometimes actual pants Real, literal pants It's a classic study of the things we do for our best friend When you love somebody You see it to the end When you love somebody The conclusion's forgone When you love somebody You put your big boy pants right on You put your pants on
