Not Like The Other Boys

(album: Wunderbar - 2018)

Danny was a little different from the rest
Not like the other boys
Not like the other boys
Always sitting on his own out in the schoolyard
Away from the other boys
Away from the other boys

He just sat there dreaming
Waiting for the bell
Hoping to avoid
All of the other boys

They'd say don't move now
And we might let you go
Not one sound and no one will ever know
Life could be so easy
If you'd just start acting more like the other boys
More like the other boys

He said I won't
So let me bleed
You can't decide
My life for me
And my love
Doesn't define
Cause you have your way
And I have mine

His father never bothered to try and understand it
He said you're not my son
Must be the devils one
Didn't I try to raise you like a man?
Just like the other boys
Just like the other boys
Why don't you find yourself a nice girl
Get hitched and settle down
If you keep on going that way
They're gonna run you out of town
