I won't forget when Peter Pan came to my house, took my handI said I was a boy; I'm glad he didn't check.I learned to fly, I learned to fightI lived a whole life in one nightWe saved each other's lives out on the pirate's deck.And I remember that nightWhen I'm leaving a late night with some friendsAnd I hear somebody tell me it's not safe,Someone should help meI need to find a nice man to walk me home.When I was a boy, I scared the pants off of my mom,Climbed what I could climb uponAnd I don't know how I survived,I guess I knew the tricks that all boys knew.And you can walk me home, but I was a boy, too.I was a kid that you would like, just a small boy on her bikeRiding topless, yeah, I never cared who saw.My neighbor come outside to say, "Get your shirt,"I said "No way, it's the last time I'm not breaking any law."And now I'm in this clothing store, and the signs say less is moreMore that's tight means more to see, more for them, not more for meLetras de cancionesThat can't help me climb a tree in ten seconds flatWhen I was a boy, See that picture? That was meGrass-stained shirt and dusty kneesAnd I know things have gotta change,They got pills to sell, they've got implants to put in,They've got implants to removeBut I am not forgetting, that I was a boy tooAnd like the woods where I would creep, it's a secret I can keepExcept when I'm tired, 'cept when I'm being caught off guardAnd I've had a lonesome awful day, the conversation finds its wayTo catching fire-flies out in the backyard.And I so tell the man I'm with about the other life I livedAnd I say now you're top gun, I have lost and you have wonAnd he says, "Oh no, no, can't you seeWhen I was a girl, my mom and I we always talkedAnd I picked flowers everywhere that I walked.And I could always cry, now even when I'm alone I seldom doAnd I have lost some kindnessBut I was a girl too.And you were just like me, and I was just like you From Letras Mania
