Daddy always told you, do it like a man, never get too friendly, ome won't understand, friends have got you in on all those "hard" things that they've planned, All your life they told you, never shed a tear, cuz boys don't crave affection, Boys ain't got no fear, But did they ever show you how to shut those feelings on then off again [Chorus] And now you gotta hide yourself, hide yourself away, Show you care and you might show the world that you're only gay, Crying is for babies, for boys is it a sin, To be a caring, sharing, loving, human one Handshake show you're friendly, but don't get caught, You gotta fight to prove you're not afraid, f** just to prove you're not, And all your life you play this game and it goes on and on and on and on, Now you've grown into a man, proud as hell to be, It's now your turn to raise a son, don't let him be one, And you can teach him all the things you were taught yourself
