Boys In The Street

Boys In The Street - A Great Big World

Lyrics by：Greg Holden

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 said

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
