Like a Boy

Brra-ba-ba-ba, brra-ba-ba-ba boy

Brra-ba-ba-ba, brra-ba-ba-ba boy

Brra-ba-ba-ba, brra-ba-ba-ba boy

Brra-ba-ba-ba, sing like a boy (ah-ooh)

The name is Nick, it's so nice to know ya

I'm just a kid from South Minnesota

Tryin' to keep my feet off the ground

And I head up in the clouds (ah-ooh)

Yes, it's true, I act differently

This apple fell far from the home tree

But I survived the fall (survived the fall)

They're always asking me why do I gotta sing high?

Sayin' I sound like a girl (like a girl)

Although it's normal to me, it may not seem so manly

In a small-minded world (small-minded world)

You say, "Stay in the box, don't wander!"

"Stop, and slow down, there's danger ahead"

"Don't you ever know?"

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 (brra-ba-ba-ba, brra-ba-ba-ba boy)

Brra-ba-ba-ba, sing like a boy (ah-ooh)

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 (ah-ooh)

Now that I'm big and outgrown my stroller

Got a case of vocal bipolar

Don't know which way to turn (which way to turn)

Sometimes I'm up, sometimes down

And then I flip it around

I wanna break all the rules (break the rules)

Oh well, now let me rephrase

I just like singin' both ways

So try not to be cruel (don't be cruel)

You say, "Stay in the box, don't wander!"

"Stop, and slow down, there's danger ahead"

"Don't you ever know?"

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, ooh, nigh

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

I hear a voice in my head, it's sayin', "Lash out instead!"

So you better beware, this girly voice doesn't care!

I sing it all away! (Brra-ba-ba-ba, brra-ba-ba-ba boy)

Brra-ba-ba-ba, sing like a boy (yeah-yes!)

You say, "Stay in the box, don't wander!"

"Stop, and slow down, there's danger ahead"

"Don't you ever know?"

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! (Brra-ba-ba-ba, brra-ba-ba-ba boy)

High! (Brra-ba-ba-ba, brra-ba-ba-ba boy)

Brra-ba-ba-ba, brra-ba-ba-ba boy (sing like a boy)

Brra-ba-ba-ba, (I) sing like a boy
