I'm his lover not his mother
Why you starin' at each other?
What's your problem?
I'm not his keeper, I'm his teacher
Ho, 'n it goes deeper
What's your problem?
I can't control these feelings I have inside
I had to let go, let go of my pride
Age is a number
Don't steal my thunder
Can't love no other, other, other
You're my boy,
Keepin' you inside so they don't see that you're my boy
Keepin' you inside so they don't see that you're my boy
Keepin' you inside so they don't see that you're my boy
My boy, my boy!
Where's the blame, where's the shame?
We're just two hearts come together
What's your problem?
He's not a boy, not a toy
He's man enough to understand
What's your problem?
I can't control these feelings I have inside
I had to let go, let go of my prize
Age is a number
Don't steal my thunder
I can't love no other, other, other
You're my boy,
Keepin' you inside so they don't see that you're my boy
Keepin' you inside so they don't see that you're my boy
Keepin' you inside so they don't see that you're my boy
My boy, my boy!
Don't mind tellin' you baby, she says he's my boy
My boy, my boy ...
Yes, you're my boy,
Keepin' you inside so they don't see that you're my boy
Keepin' you inside so they don't see that you're my boy
Keepin' you inside so they don't see that you're my boy
There's nothing I can say that ain't been said before
There ain't nothing I can do to stand out from the crowd
The wheels are turning now but they're driving to the west
There's nothing I can do to rise above the rest
These simple chords are all the same
I can't find a melody that hasn't yet been sang
I strummed these chords of mine and I took them for a ride
Well this is all I've got. Its all there is that's keeping me alive
Take it from me. You got it
It don't pay to bleed. If you want it
And if that's my epitaph then that's alright with me
Its alright with me
There's nothing I can do to numb or dull the pain
There's nothing I can do to make you understand
I'm just a pauper with a million dollar heart
I'm got the goods to sell but to sell I gotta die
Take it from me. You got it
It don't pay to bleed. If you want it
And if that's my epitaph then that's alright with me
When I go from this life, let me go in peace
Dont want your marble at my head and feet
Dont gather round me oh just to weep and moan
Where that Im going I wont be alone
The flowers you give, please give them today
Dont waste their beauty on cold lifeless clay
One rose with love could do so much good
And I think all would give it if they just understood
Now God gives life freely, then he takes away
What we do for eachother let us do it today
For we have no promise that tomorrow will come
Dont sing my praises lord after Im gone
When life has departed its not me any more
Just a form that has suffered, A still heart that was sore
For the soul that has blossomed, it dont need you anymore
