7 Seconds

Daddy always told you, do it like a man, never get too friendly,
ome wont understand, friends have got you in on all those "hard" things that theyve planned,
All your life they told you, never shed a tear, cuz boys dont crave affection,
Boys aint got no fear,
But did they ever show you how to shut those feelings on then off again
[Chorus]
And now you gotta hide yourself, hide yourself away,
Show you care and you might show the world that youre only gay,
Crying is for babies, for boys is it a sin,
To be a caring, sharing, loving, human one
Handshake show youre friendly, but dont get caught,
You gotta fight to prove youre not afraid, fuck just to prove youre not,
And all your life you play this game and it goes on and on and on and on,
Now youve grown into a man, proud as hell to be,
Its now your turn to raise a son, dont let him be one,
And you can teach him all the things you were taught yourself
