Peter Parker: I just wanted to be like you.
Tony Stark: And I wanted you to be better.
Tony Stark: And I wanted you to be better.
You're made of everything I'm not
I want the qualities you've got
I made a promise to myself
to be the better yellow one
You take it all too seriously
Ignore the truth and lose the key
I'm just a pawn and you are free
Ignore the truth and lose the key
Somebody told me that my free will was a lie
So I pushed the questions down and doused the fear inside
Yet I can't forgive myself; my innocence is through
But with every obstacle I crush I'll get to you
I want the qualities you've got
I made a promise to myself
to be the better yellow one
You take it all too seriously
Ignore the truth and lose the key
I'm just a pawn and you are free
Ignore the truth and lose the key
Somebody told me that my free will was a lie
So I pushed the questions down and doused the fear inside
Yet I can't forgive myself; my innocence is through
But with every obstacle I crush I'll get to you

The tentacles asked me what I wanted. It was to be acknowledged by you; to be more like you; to be you!
