Like a Boy

Sing like a boy

My name is Nick it's so nice to know ya

I'm just a kid from south Minnesota

Trying to keep my feet off the ground

And head up in the clouds

Yes it's true I act differently

This apple fell far from the home tree

But I survived the fall

They're always asking me why

Do I gotta sing high

Saying sound like a girl

Although it's normal to me

It may not seem so manly

In a small minded world

You say stay in the box don't wander

Stop, slow down, there's danger ahead

Don´t enter

You think it's causing me pain

But I throw that hate down the drain

You best believe I don't listen when I hear

Talk like a boy and walk like a boy

Can't you sing like a boy

See I try just my best to be me

And that makes me feel free

That's why I gotta sing high

Sing like a boy

Growing up my freak card was prepaid

Cause I learned to sing from a mermaid

I don't know when and I don't know how

But something starts right now

Now that I'm big and outgrown my stroller

Got a case of vocal bipolar

Don't know which way to turn

Sometimes I'm up sometimes down

And then I flip it around

I wanna break all the rules

Well now let me rephrase

I just like singing both ways

So try not to be cruel

You say stay in the box don't wander

Stop, slow down, there's danger ahead

Don´t enter

You think it's causing me pain

But I throw that hate down the drain

You best believe I don't listen when I hear

Talk like a boy and walk like a boy

Can't you sing like a boy

See I try just my best to be me

And that makes me feel free

That's why I gotta sing high oooh

When I'm told to conform and just blend in with the norm

I hear a voice in my head it's saying lash out instead

So you better beware this girly voice doesn't care

I sing it all, away

Sing like a boy

You say stay in the box don't wander

Stop, slow down, there's danger ahead

Don´t enter

You think it's causing me pain

But I throw that hate down the drain

You best believe I don't listen when I hear

Talk like a boy and walk like a boy

Can't you sing like a boy

See I try just my best to be me

And that makes me feel free

That's why I gotta sing high

Sing like a boy
