[Verse 1]
             A
When I was younger

                          D
My daddy told me I would never

                           A
Never amount to nothing special

                            D
He'd come at me from every angle
He'd say
               A
"You're the last thing I wanted, the last thing I need

     D
How am I gonna answer when my friends tell me

   F#m A                        D
My son was kissing boys in the street?"
[Verse 2]
              A
He tried to change me

                          D
Said I'm embarrassing my country

                           A
How could I do this to my family?

                           D
Do I wanna grow up being lonely?
He'd say
       A
"We've worked for our money, we put you in school

    D
Is this how you repay us? Do you think this is cool?

   F#m A                           D
My son, stop kissing boys in the street

   F#m A                           D
My son, stop kissing boys in the street"
[Verse 3]
              A
Now that I'm older

                             D
My daddy's heart's a little warmer

                                   A
But he still won't hug me like my brother

                                    D
And he still won't kiss me like my mother
He'd say
            A
"You're a part of this family, I made you myself

          D
But the way that you act isn't good for your health

   F#m A                          D
My son, stop kissing boys in the street

   F#m A                          D
My son, stop kissing boys in the street"
[Verse 4]
             A
My daddy's dying

                                   D
And he's finally realized I'm not lying

                             A
We sit in silence but we're smiling

                              D
Because for once we are not fighting
He said
            A
"There was no way of knowing 'cause all I was taught

   D
Is men only love women, but now I'm not sure

   F#m A                          D
My son, keep kissing boys in the street

   F#m A                          D
My son, keep kissing boys in the street

   F#m A                          D
When I'm gone, keep kissing boys in the street"
