Didn't you know

I was a boy

Before you came

I was a boy

Didn't you know

Before you came

Didn't you know

I was my own

Before you came

I was my own

Didn't you know

Before you came

I was a boy

I was a boy

Before you came

It didn't show

I was a boy

Before you came

I was a boy

It didn't show

Before you came

Yes, I was a sire

Before the fire

Before your work

I was a boy

I was a boy

Then I was your girl

Yes, I was a sire (I was undiscovered)

Before the fire

Before your work

I was a boy (my best friend was my brother)

I was a boy

Then I was your girl

(I was born a sailor)

(Dream what I was made of) I was a boy

I was a boy

Before your work

(I was born a soldier

The sea rolled past my shoulder)

I ruled land and water

(Unlike no one's daughter) I was a boy

I was a boy

Before your work

(I was undiscovered)

(My best friend was my brother) I was a boy

I was a boy

Before your work

(I was born a sailor

Dream what I was made of

I was born a soldier

The sea rolled past my shoulder

I ruled land and water

And my best friend was my brother)
