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 tried to change me say 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'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 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 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 were 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
