Kate Reid - When I Was Little Boy Lyrics
He was living in the trees, that was his homeHe'd sleep alone in an old wooden boxNo-one to hold him tight frightened as he wasIn bare feet, he was walking on broken glassHe used some shards to cut a way to his lonely heartHis clothes were torn, hair in a tattered messThere was despair, hanging in that forest airChorus-Oh I was a little boyWhen I was a little girlIt was a fine line for me back thenOh I was a wild childWhen I was a boy-Break-I grew into a tough girl anywayI knew the summer sun would come and save me from it allI'd run around outside in my underwearI didn't wear a shirt, I had nothing to hide back thenI styled my Barbie's hair with a pair of kitchen scissorsAnd a rebellious tomboy fantasyI'd play the husband or the heroIn every single make-believe sceneChorus-Bridge-They say you can be whoever you want to beWith some restrictions and limits on that, you seeThey say boys should be boys and girls should be girlsThe world doesn't sit well with anyone in betweenWhen I was young I was the son my father never hadAnd the daughter who tried to make up for thatNow that I'm older, I'm the woman I want to beWith a little bit of boy living on in meChorus-2x-
