Boys Can Never Tell

[Verse 1]
If daddy says the mountain's come off you must believe him true
I will build a science and create a world for you
I'll protect you from yourself and the tendencies you've shown
The world will see a man like you as weak and undergrown

[Chorus]
And I'm gonna love you son
Even if you love no one
This thing you will learn too well
Boys can never tell
Boys can never tell
You should bite your tongue and will your words to fail
Boys can never tell

[Verse 2]
You're a lady without warning
And I've been loyal mean
This is not the body you were born in
I can prove it with what I've seen
So I will raise you tough
Build you strong and crown you king
You will put me in the ground and choose yourself a queen

[Chorus]
And I'm gonna love you son
Even if you love no one
This thing you will learn too well
Boys can never tell
Boys can never tell
You should bite your tongue and will your words to fail
Boys can never tell

[Bridge]
I don't expect you to understand how much it took to care
I built you out of half my blood and filled your lungs with air
I only had you to make your mother stay
But when you came she left all the same
So I have learned what love is
And what it cannot be
But I will not speak of it
'Til you will speak of me

[Chorus]
And I'm gonna love you son
Even if you love no one
This thing you will learn too well
Boys can never tell
Boys can never tell
You should bite your tongue and will your words to fail
Boys can never tell
