Boys In The Street Lyrics - Greg Holden

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 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 schools 

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"
