WHEN I WAS YOUNGER
MY DADDY TOLD ME
I WOULD NEVER
NEVER AMOUNT
TO NOTHIN' 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'M I GONNA ANSWER
WHEN MY FRIENDS TELL ME
MY SON
WAS KISSIN' BOYS IN THE STREET
MY SON
WAS KISSIN' BOYS IN THE STREET
HE TRIED TO CHANGE ME
SAY I'M EMBARRASSIN'
MY COUNTRY
HOW COULD I DO THIS
TO MY FAMILY
DO I WANNA GROW UP
BEIN' LONELY
HE'D SAY
WE'VE WORKED FOR OUR MONEY
WE'VE PUT YOU IN SCHOOL
IS THIS HOW YOU REPAY US
DO YOU THINK THIS IS COOL
MY SON
STOP KISSIN' BOYS IN THE STREET
MY SON
STOP KISSIN' BOYS IN THE STREET
NOW THAT I'M OLDER
MY DADDY'S HEART'S
A LITTLE WARMER
BUT HE STILL WON'T HOLD 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 KISSIN' BOYS IN THE STREET
MY SON
STOP KISSIN' BOYS IN THE STREET
MY DADDY'S DYIN'
AND HE'S FINALLY REALISED
I'M NOT LYIN'
WE SIT IN SILENCE
BUT WE'RE SMILIN'
BECAUSE FOR ONCE
WE ARE NOT FIGHTIN'
HE'D SAY
THERE WAS NO WAY OF KNOWIN'
'CAUSE ALL I WAS TAUGHT
IS MEN ONLY LOVE WOMEN
BUT NOW I'M NOT SURE
MY SON
KEEP KISSIN' BOYS IN THE STREET
MY SON
KEEP KISSIN' BOYS IN THE STREET
AND WHEN I'M GONE
KEEP KISSIN' BOYS IN THE STREET
