Boys In The Street

Lyrics

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"
