Karaoké Boys in the Street Calum Scott

When I was younger my daddy told me I would never

Never amount to nothin' 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 kissin' boys in the street

My son was kissin' boys in the street

Tried to change me

Say I'm embarrassin' my country

How could I do this to my family

Do I wanna grow up bein' lonely

He'd say

We've worked for our money

We put you in school

Is this how you repay us

Do you think this is cool

My son

Stop kissin' boys in the street

My son

Stop kissin' boys in the street

Now that I'm older my daddy's heart's a little warmer

But he still won't hold me like my brother and he still won't kiss me like my mother

He'd say

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 kissin' boys in the street

My son

Stop kissin' boys in the street

My daddy's dyin' and he's finally realized

I'm not lyin'

We sit in silence but we're smilin' because for once we are not fightin'

He'd say

There was no way of knowin' 'cos all I was taught

Is men only love women but now I'm not sure

My son

Keep kissin' boys in the street

My son

Keep kissin' boys in the street

And when I'm gone-one keep kissin' boys in the street
