LuLu

Do you remember way back when

I called you on that telephone and then

We talked awhile and we shared a smile

And asked the bongos questions

As time went by I soon began to see

What Mary Tyler Moore had somehow given me

You and Lou and your family, too

Made for a T.V. movie

 

How do you do the things you do?

I just want to be like you…just like you

 

"The best things in life aren't things."

That's what you said along with other things like

"I'm closer now to nowhere than I've ever been before."

I like the way you always say, "Hello"

I like the sound your car makes when it's time to go

I like the way you two raise your family, yeah

Someday I hope you say the same to me

 

How do you do the things you do?

I just want to be like you…just like you

 

Lulu…I wanna be just like you

Lulu…I wanna do what you do

Lulu…I wanna be just like you

When I grow up I wanna be just like you, yeah,

Just like you, Lulu…Lulu…Lulu…Lulu

 

And after all that you've been through

I could never be just like you

Never, never, never

 

Lulu…I wanna be just like you

Lulu…I wanna do what you do

Lulu…I wanna be just like you

When I grow up I wanna be just like you

Lulu…I wanna be just like you

Lulu…I wanna do what you do

Lulu…I wanna be just like you

When I grow up I wanna be just like you

When I grow up I wanna be just like you

When I grow up I wanna be …just like you.
