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 ooh

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, ooh
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
