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
