Greg Holden - 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 My son was kissing boys in the street He'd try to change me Say I'm embarra**ing 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've 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 hearts a little warmer But he still wont hug me like my brother And he still wont kiss me like my mother He said, "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 Oooooooo Ohhhhhhh 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'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"
