C When I was younger F/C My daddy told me I would never C Never amount to nothing special F/C He'd come at me from every angle He'd say C You're the last thing I wanted The last thing I need F/C How am I going to answer When my friends tell me Am G My son F C Was kissing boys in the street Am G My son F C Was kissing boys in the street? C He tried to change me F/C Say I'm embarrassing my country C How could I do this to my family? F/C Do I wanna grow up being lonely? He'd say C We have worked for our money We've put you in school F/C Is this how you repay us? Do you think this is cool? Am G My son F C Stop kissing boys in the street Am G My son F C Stop kissing boys in the street C Now that I'm older F/C My daddy's heart's a little warmer C But he still won't hug me like my brother F/C And he still won't kiss me like my mother He'd say C You are part of this family I made you myself F/C But the way that you act Isn't good for your health Am G My son F C Stop kissing boys in the street Am G My son F C Stop kissing boys in the street C My daddy's dying F/C But he's finally realized I'm not lying C We sit in silence, but we're smiling F/C Because for once, we are not fighting He'd say C There was no way of knowing 'Cause all I was taught F/C Is men only love women But now I'm not sure Am G My son F C Keep kissing boys in the street Am G My son F C Keep kissing boys in the street Am G And when I'm gone C/G Keep kissing boys in the street
