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 going to answer when my friends tell me, my son was kissing boys in the street?, "you are 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, you are 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", 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 are 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", "you are 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, you are 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 daddy's dying, but he's finally realized i'm not lying, we sit in silence, but we're smiling, because for once, we are not fighting, he'd say, "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"
