Like A Boy - Nick Pitera

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 beat 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

And I 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

Slow down, there’s danger ahead

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

Slow down, there’s danger ahead

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 oooo

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

Sing like a boy

You say stay in the box don’t wander

Slow down, there’s danger ahead

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
