Maybe if I was on the football team
Maybe if I was on the basketball team
Maybe if I brought more girls home
Maybe if I went to the gym
Maybe if I was like you
But I'm not and never will be
Because if a football is coming at me I run
If a ball is thrown at me I wouldn't be able to catch it
I can't bring girls home because I like guys
I can't go to the gym because what's the point I'm weak anyway
And I know that I can't be like you
Because we are not the same dad we're just not
You like the total opposite of me
And I can't bear the judgement you'll put on me
When you find out I'm classified as a "sissy"
Dad you won't hug me
You won't love me
You won't touch me
And I think I know why
Who would touch another guy
And show him all that kind of love
Not you I know you won't
But answer me this dad
What about when my body is pale?
What about when its lifeless?
What about when I'm dead?
Will you touch me then?
Man to man.
