paroles de chanson Boys in the Street - A Great Big World

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?
Do I wanna grow up being lonely
He'd say
"We've worked for our money, we 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 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, stop kissing boys in the street
"My son, stop 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"
