Wanted: Lyrics to 'Oh Father' by Baha Men, Theme Song


There are a lot of Lyric websites that have the discography list for this movie's soundtrack, and include the Theme Song, "Oh Father" by the Baha Men, but I have not yet been able to find the ACTUAL LYRICS to "Oh Father". Here is an excerpt of the lyrics that I was able to capture:

EXCERPT LYRICS from Oh, Father - by The Baha Men - Theme Song to Movie: My Father, The Hero...

"Can you accept me for who I am/Just for this moment please be my friend/I need to know you're there for me/I'll feel much better when I know/That you are ready to let me go/I've found someone I'd like to know"

If anyone knows a website with the full, ACTUAL TEXT of the LYRICS to this song OH FATHER, please reply to this post. Or, even better, copy/paste & include the LYRICS as a reply. THANKS!

"The theme song "Oh, Father" performed by the Baha Men and played in the end credits sums up the movie. With lyrics like "Can you accept me for who I am/Just for this moment please be my friend/I need to know you're there for me/I'll feel much better when I know/That you are ready to let me go/I've found someone I'd like to know"...It directly infers to Niki and her father Andre's relationship. His protective nature over his daughter and her resentment towards him because of his neglectfulness and crush on Ben is the foundation of the movie. However, director Steve Miner develops it into a story that every teenager can relate to. From the moments of Niki's rebellion to when Andre(Niki's father) goes through the experience of letting his child go by putting his trust in her and finally understanding her just like a friend comprehends, is truly the essence of this movie!"
