I wonand't forget when peter pan came to my house, took my hand
i said i was a boy; iand'm glad he didnand't check.
i learned to fly, i learned to fight
i lived a whole life in one night
we saved each otherand's lives out on the pirateand's deck.
and i remember that night
when iand'm leaving a late night with some friends
and i hear somebody tell me itand's not safe, someone should help me
i need to find a nice man to walk me home.
when i was a boy, i scared the pants off of my mom,
climbed what i could climb upon
and i donand't know how i survived,
i guess i knew the tricks that all boys knew.
and you can walk me home, but i was a boy, too.
I was a kid that you would like, just a small boy on her bike
riding topless, yeah, i never cared who saw.
my neighbor come outside to say, andquot;get your shirt,andquot;
i said andquot;no way, itand's the last time iand'm not breaking any law.andquot;
and now iand'm in a clothing store, and the sign says less is more
more thatand's tight means more to see, more for them, not more for me
that canand't help me climb a tree in ten seconds flat
When i was a boy, see that picture? that was me
grass-stained shirt and dusty knees
and i know things have gotta change,
they got pills to sell, theyand've got implants to put in, theyand've got implants to remove
but i am not forgetting
that i was a boy too
And like the woods where i would creep, itand's a secret i can keep
except when iand'm tired, except when iand'm being caught off guard
iand've had a lonesome awful day, the conversation finds its way
to catching fire-flies out in the backyard.
and i tell the man iand'm with about the other life i lived
and i say now youand're top gun, i have lost and you have won
and he says, andquot;oh no, no, canand't you see
when i was a girl, my mom and i we always talked
and i picked flowers everywhere that i walked.
and i could always cry, now even when iand'm alone i seldom do
and i have lost some kindness
but i was a girl too.
and you were just like me, and i was just like you.
