When I was younger
                         Fadd9
My daddy told me I would never
                         C/E
Never amount to nothing special
                           Fadd9
He'd come at me from every angle
                      C                                     G
He'd say, "You're the last thing I wanted, the last thing I need

How am I going to answer when my friends tell me
   Am   G                         F    C
My son   was kissing boys in the street
   Am   G                         F    C
My son   was kissing boys in the street?"

            C
He tried to change me
                        Fadd9
Say I'm embarrassing my country
                          C/E
How could I do this to my family?
                         Fadd9    F
Do I wanna grow up being lonely?
                 C
He'd say, "We've worked for our money, we've put you in school
        Fadd9
Is this how you repay us? Do you think this is cool?
   Am   G                          Fadd9   C
My son,  stop kissing boys in the street
   Am   G                          Fadd9   C
My son,  stop kissing boys in the street"

Now that I'm older
                            Fadd9
My daddy's heart's a little warmer
                                   C/E
But he still won't hold me like my brother
                                   F
And he still won't kiss me like my mother
                    C                                 G
He'd say, "You're a part of this family, I made you myself
        Fadd9                                G
But the way that you act isn't good for your health
   Am   G                          Fadd9   C
My son,  stop kissing boys in the street
   Am   G                          Fadd9   C
My son,  stop kissing boys in the street"

My daddy's dying
                              Fadd9
And he's finally realized I'm not lying
                             C/E
We sit in silence, but we're smiling
                             F
Because for once, we are not fighting
                     C                                  G
He'd say, "There was no way of knowing 'cause all I was taught
       F                                G
Is men only love women, but now I'm not sure
   Am   G                          F    C
My son,  keep kissing boys in the street
   Am   G                          F    C
My son,  keep kissing boys in the street
             Am   G                          F    C
And when I'm gone, keep kissing boys in the street"
