Half a Boy (Half a Man) Songtext
von Brendan Benson

was born a welder′s son
And I don't forget where I come from
A little hard to understand
′Cause I'm half a boy and half a man

And I don't wanna die till the living′s been done
Lord knows I′ve had my fun
Getting high in the noon day sun
Watching them come and go one by one, yeah

I'll never be your one and only
There′s more to me than what you see
I can't help being what I am
I′m half a boy and half a man

And I left my home at an early age
Broke my chains and rattled my cage
Kicked around in an old tin can
That's why I′m half a boy and half a man


And I don't wanna die till the living's been done
Lord knows I′ve had my fun
Getting high in the noon day sun
Watching them come and go one by one, yeah

I′ll never be your one and only
There's more to me than what you see
I can′t help being what I am
I'm half a boy and half a man

And I don′t stop and I can't say no
I get a taste and away I go
Both a tiger and a little lost lamb
I′m half a boy and half a man

I'll never be the one and only
There's more to me than what you see
I can′t help being what I am
I′m half a boy and half a man

I'll never be the one and only
There′s more to me than what you see
I can't help being what I am
′Cause I'm half a boy and half a man
