I'm sure that I'm moving to St Louis
|
Three long years wondering here in New York City
|
I guess I'm looking for the right way to do this
|
I guess I'm looking for the right things to call pretty
|
Young boys playing in the park turning their backs to take a shot
|
You know I'll stay sharp around here 'cause they're stoning and leaving type
|
It's the kind of love that comes and goes when there's company coming around
|
|
What's a boy to do who knows no man now?
|
What's a boy to do who knows no man now?
|
|
Daddy's been looking down his nose at all of them
|
And I've been looking round for someone to tell me who I am
|
He kept saying I was to young to finish a fight
|
I'd die each time they came I never got to draw my knife
|
Well it was just a pair of shoes in a middle school room with the world watching in
|
And angel is crying I'm dying just a little inside as they ran away
|
Funny which words stick around 20 years down when you're driving alone
|
|
What's a boy to do when there's no man at home?
|
What's a boy to do when there's no man at home?
|
|
Well I'll stack all my books in perfect rows
|
From the biggest down to the smallest ones
|
And I buy all the perfect clothes
|
Bullet proof and black, where I look like a son
|
|
Well it was just a rain night at his house
|
A bottle spinning around the room
|
And everybody's singing and slipping down the bottom halfway rush of blood
|
And I was grabbing Missy but I was trying to find the light switch in the dark
|
|
What's a boy to do with no man in his heart?
|
What's a boy to do with no man in his heart?
|
|
It's all quiet for the first time
|
With no voices left to fall
|
I saw a boy at the bottom of the bridge
|
His car was left there on the top
|
It's four o'clock in the morning
|
Didn't need to be like this
|
There's a white sheet left to cover up
|
What should have been a holy kiss
|
It's not like those days
|
It's not like I'm scared of you
|
|
What's the son of man and a boy to do?
|
What's the son of man and a boy to you?
|
