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
