| 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
|
| 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, fuck 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 |
