Boys in the Street
When I was younger
My daddy told me I would never
Never amount to nothing special
He'd come at me from every angle
He'd say
You're the last thing I wanted, the last thing I need
How am I gonna answer when my friends tell me
My son was kissing boys in the street?
He tried to change me
Said I'm embarrassing my country
How could I do this to my family?
Do I wanna grow up being lonely
He'd say
We've worked for our money, we put you in school
Is this how you repay us, do you think this is cool?
My son, stop kissing boys in the street
My son, stop kissing boys in the street
Now that I'm older
My daddy's heart's a little warmer
But he still won't hug me like my brother
And he still won't kiss me like my mother
He'd say
You're a part of this family, I made you myself
But the way that you act isn't good for your health
My son, stop kissing boys in the street
My son, stop kissing boys in the street
My daddy's dying
And he's finally realized I'm not lying
We sit in silence but we're smiling
Because for once we are not fighting
He says
There was no way of knowing 'cause all I was taught
Is men only love women, but now I'm not sure
My son, keep kissing boys in the street
My son, keep kissing boys in the street
When I'm gone, keep kissing boys in the street
My daddy told me I would never
Never amount to nothing special
He'd come at me from every angle
He'd say
You're the last thing I wanted, the last thing I need
How am I gonna answer when my friends tell me
My son was kissing boys in the street?
He tried to change me
Said I'm embarrassing my country
How could I do this to my family?
Do I wanna grow up being lonely
He'd say
We've worked for our money, we put you in school
Is this how you repay us, do you think this is cool?
My son, stop kissing boys in the street
My son, stop kissing boys in the street
Now that I'm older
My daddy's heart's a little warmer
But he still won't hug me like my brother
And he still won't kiss me like my mother
He'd say
You're a part of this family, I made you myself
But the way that you act isn't good for your health
My son, stop kissing boys in the street
My son, stop kissing boys in the street
My daddy's dying
And he's finally realized I'm not lying
We sit in silence but we're smiling
Because for once we are not fighting
He says
There was no way of knowing 'cause all I was taught
Is men only love women, but now I'm not sure
My son, keep kissing boys in the street
My son, keep kissing boys in the street
When I'm gone, keep kissing boys in the street
