Lyrics

I got something to say, I'm scared and so afraid
Can you take me as I am?
Come what may, our blood is all the same
I am still your little man
He said, "You ain't no son to me, you ain't no son to me
Eight-pound baby boy I bounced on my knee
No, you ain't no son of mine, you ain't no son of mine
Oh, forget it, girls, there ain't no use in tryin'"
Don't expect to get my love for free
And don't blame me
"You know, this ain't no fun for me, this ain't no fun for me
Oh, boys should be boys, that's how it should be
Yeah, you ain't comin' home, no, you ain't comin' home
'Til you walk a straight line, you'll be out on your own"
Don't expect to save your soul for free
When you're the one who turned your back on me
"Aren't you a sight to see? Yeah, you're a sight to see
What you call freedom makes you look like a freak
Yeah, you must get around, 'cause it sure got around
Don't you know that I can't show my face in this town?"
Don't think I'm gonna get you up off your knees
When you're the one who turned your back on me
Stranger, stranger on the wall
When the neighbors come to call
I just don't know what to say
So I put you away
This time I won't leave a trace
I'll fill up the empty space
When I put you, I put you away
I put you away
He said, "You ain't no son to me, you ain't no son to me
Eight-pound baby boy I bounced on my knee
No, you ain't no son of mine, you ain't no son of mine
Oh, forget it, girls, there ain't no use in tryin'"
Don't expect to get my love for free
When you're the one who turned your back on me
Don't blame me
Yeah, don't blame me
Don't blame me
Shame on me
Shame on me
Shame on me
