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 Don't wanna grow up being lonely
He'd say,
we work for our money We put you in school
Is this how you repay us Do you think this is cool
My son
stopped kissing boys in the street
My son
stopped 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 stopped kissing boys in the street
My son stopped 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
