Greg Holden - Boys In The Street Lyrics






When I was younger
My daddy told me I would never
Never amount to nothing special
He'd come at me from every angle
He'd say, "You're the last thing I wanted, the last thing I need
How am I going to answer when my friends tell me
My son was kissing boys in the street
My son was kissing boys in the street?

He'd try to change me
Say I'm embarrassing my country
How could I do this to my family
Do I wanna grow up being lonely
He'd say, "We have worked for our money
We've put you in school
Is this how you repay us?
Do you think this is cool?
My son, stop kissing boys in the street
My son, stop kissing boys in the street

Now that I'm older
My daddy's heart's a little warmer
But he still won't hug me like my brother
And he still won't kiss me like my mother
He'd say, You are part of this family
I made you myself
But the way that you act isn't good for your health
My son, stop kissing boys in the street
My son, stop kissing boys in the street"
Uhhh...
Ohh...

My daddy's dying
But he's finally realized I'm not lying
We sit in silence but we're smiling
Because for once, we are not fighting
He'd say, "There was no way of knowing
'Cause all I was taught
Is men only love women, but now I'm not sure
My son, keep kissing boys in the street
My son, keep kissing boys in the street
When I'm gone, keep kissing boys in the street"

    Nothing is wrong with liking the same gender. Its not contagious. Its not a sin....everyone says that "God" doesn't want Gays, Lesbians, trans...but if he truly didnt want our kind......wouldn't he have gotten rid of us already? Wouldn't he have tried to end us? No...he hasn't...yea gays, lesbians, trans, are being killed...but that is not god...that is humanity.....that is people killing other humans.....humans who have done nothing wrong....this world is fucked up....to the point...where it might not be able to be saved........

  28. J.... P....

    Hehe, very nice song, I’m not a boy to be gay but I’m a girl to be lesbian😪but very nice singing

  29. S.... W....

    Randomly my friend from church wanted me to listen to this. I just idk anymore. I have to keep my sexuality from my mom as I’m bisexual and I’m a girl. She knows I dated a girl but she thinks I only did it bc she liked me but honestly I liked her back and a lot of people thought we were a cute couple and now I’m broken hearted and I don’t have her as my girlfriend anymore. I just wish I could have it back. 😭😭😭😭

  30. I.... G....

    I would say I have never experienced this but
    It might happen to me in the future
    So I am scared..... yet I might not have love I know that I am gay because I used to love a boy ,just wish I could kiss him and share ice cream with him.... but slowly lost interest in him.... because he was straight... I tried girls for maybe more than twice but it just DIDN'T WORK....Somehow I feel like I am depressed but am hiding it when I shouldn't.....

  31. J.... R....

    i can relate to this my dad is like this xxxx tm sr hmu, (boys) nr

  32. �.... G....

    When I came out as bi my dad said "its just a phase"

  33. m.... j....

    Having heard much of the same comments from my own parents, this has woken something in me and it's aching. It's heartbreaking and damaging.
    Especially "is this how you repay us" makes me angry every time. They provided for me. That's their responsibility as parents. They decided to bring a child into this world and expect to be recompensed for their efforts when they made a very conscious choice? Don't let them plant these seeds in your head. It's not your responsibility to repay them. It's not your fault they had you. It's not your fault they can't accept you the way you are.

    You are valid and there will always be people out there supporting you, your choices, your identity.

  34. K.... ....

    Tbh? Underated

  35. C.... C....

    I’d be pissed too if my son was a gay hooker 💀

  36. M.... W....

    Here because of Freddieismyqueen and God do I love it

  37. U.... C....

    I am kind of sad right now because my parents think gay people are sick and that if I ever said I was lesbian they said I would really be the disappointment of the family 🙃

  38. M.... m....

    freddieismyqueen made me search this💚💙

  39. K.... a....

    No No No! Don't kiss boys on the street! He's right, it's not good for your health! You could get hit by a car! He was just trying to tell you to move to the side walk or inside or the yard or something! It's safer! (♥´∀`)/

    I am not gay I am straight but my dad would try to say I need to be more like a girl and that I can’t be a teacher and that I have to be a cook or a cleaner my dad goes away for 4 months and comes back for 2 weeks and the first words he said to me was that I was fat on top of all that I get bullied I turned to self harm my mum is still together with my dad even if he cheats on her she thinks he will change but she dose not know how it feels to see stuffing my dads phone I see pictures of other women my siblings hate me they told me to go and kill my self and I tried to overdose and take my life away but it did not work my mum dose not believe me when I say I am depressed she says it is a phase and I will get over it and I like NF right and my mum said that if she catches me listening to him I will be grounded because he is apparently depressing but what she dose not under stand is with out him I would of overdosed he stopped me I don’t know what to do anymore more in my group of friends I am know as the funny one but I can hardly smile i don’t want any one to go through what I go through every day xx

    this song makes me cry because it says so much about my relationship with my mother.

  64. H.... A....

    Thank you so much for making me cry in public. It felt soooo good!

  65. S.... A....

    You know, I love all of this song, but there was always this one thing that stuck out to me. Notice that the father always calls his son, "My son", and while that may not be super unique, in the context of the song it can mean a few different things. The first meaning, is that the use of the words "my son" is kind of an attempt by the father to tether his son to the family, and use it as a guilt trip to some extent. However, later, I think that the context of this phrase changes, or it was slightly this use the entire time. When he uses the phrase "my son, keep kissing boys in the street", it seems as though the context of "my son" has changed from a tether to the family to more of a "you are my son, and despite my mistakes of making you feel awful about who you are and who you love, I have still loved you all this time, and you are still my son, no matter what."

    I may be wrong honestly, but I thought it would be a pretty interesting concept to point out, even if it is incorrect. It just adds a whole new layer to this song for me and I really adore the amount of depth the two words "my son" can have in multiple different contexts. Guess language is more complicated than anyone ever thinks it is. (If I'm honest, I had to listen to the song multiple times to draw that connection of word context I made, but I'm glad I did.)

  66. b.... ....

    I have had a father my entire life but he has never once played with me in my life or told me he loved me all he ever gave me was bruises and condemnation this song struck a cord with me for sure. I am not gay myself but can't help but feel a sense of loss from not having father who acted like a father.
