Lyrics
Well he came out cookin’
What’s happening good lookin’
But your daddy knew that something was off
Oh he found it alarming
When you played with Ken and Barbie
Hopin’ you were just a little mixed up
So you lacked some rugged detail
Effeminate, a sweet male
Boy you’ve got a heart of gold
Forced to keep it inside
The shame you felt when he’d sigh
A secret that he already knows
Ohhhh you have it your head but your mouth won’t let it out
Ohhhh just give it to him straight let ‘em know what you’re really ‘bout
They say that in due time
A boy’s gonna have to choose
He can live in denial
Or be a man and turn him loose
Slow rollin’ into pre-teen
Trying not to be seen
Come into your own in the dark
Private browser history
Searching for a mystery
Guarding what you know in your heart
So you catch him in the hallway
Lockin’ eyes a quick take
Burnin’ like a moth to the flame
But you keep it on the down low
Not sure how it’d all go
No playbook showin’ how to spit game
They say that in due time
A boy’s gonna have to choose
He can live in denial
Or be a man and turn him loose
Turn him loose
Set him free
Become the one
You’re meant to be
Turn him loose
Set him free
Become the one
You’re meant to be
Some years later
You was workin’ as a waiter
When a guy there caught a glimpse of your eye
You think “man he’s kinda hot”
Grow a pair and take a shot
If he ain’t gay well then maybe he’s bi
They say that in due time
A boy’s gonna have to choose
He can live in denial
Or be a man and turn him loose
Turn him loose
Set him free
Become the one
You’re meant to be
Turn him loose
Set him free
Become the one
You’re meant to be
