This is part of “I’ve been watching you” by Rodney Adkins. I could not get all of the lyrics for this song either so I typed out what related to psychology.
Where did u learn to talk like that …I’ve been watching you. Dad ain’t that cool. I am your buckaroo. I wanna be like you, eat all my food, and grow as tall as you are. …….just alike hey ain’t we dad. I wanna do everything you do, because I’ve been watching you.
Then the boy preys like his daddy does and the Dad said where did you learn to pray like that. I’ve been watching you. Dad ain’t that cool. I am your buckaroo. I wanna be like you, eat all my food, and grow as tall as you are. …….just alike hey ain’t we dad.. I wanna do everything you do. Because I’ve been watching you.
In chapter 11 four main approaches to personality were discussed. One approach is the psychodynamic or the psychoanalytical approach. In this approach there are psychosexual stages of personality development. One of these stages is the phallic stage. The phallic stage is when the focus of pleasure shifts to the genital region. Boys experience the Oedipus complex when they are in this stage. When boys are experiencing this Oedipus complex they want to be just like their father. This song is a perfect example of a boy going through this Oedipus complex and wanting to be just like daddy. He wants to do everything his dad does, the way he does it, and grow up to be just like his dad.
