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
