I got something to say
I'm scared and so afraid
Can you take me as I am?
Come what may our blood is all the same
I'm still your little manHe said, "You ain't no son to me
You ain't no son to me
Eight pound baby boy
I bounced on my knee"No, you ain't no son of mine
You ain't no son of mine
Aw, forget it girls
There ain't no use in tryingDon't expect to get my love for free
And don't blame meWell, this ain't no fun for me
This ain't fun for me
Oh, boys should be boys
That's how it should be, yeahYou ain't coming home
No, you ain't coming home
'Til you walk the straight line
You'll be out on your ownDon't expect to save your soul for free
When you're the one who turned your back on meAren't you a sight to see
Yeah, you're a sight to see
What you call freedom
Makes you look like a freak, yeahYou must get around
'Cause it sure got around
Don't you know that
I can't show my face in this townDon't think I'm gonna get you up off of me
When you're the one who turned your back on meStranger, stranger on the wall
When the neighbors come to call
I just don't know what to say
So I'll put you awayThis time I won't leave a trace
I'll fill up the empty space
When I put you, I put you away
I put you awayHe said, "You ain't no son to me
You ain't no son to me
Eight pound baby boy
I bounced on my knee"No, you ain't no son of mine
You ain't no son of mine
Aw, forget it girls
There ain't no use in tryingDon't expect to get my love for free
When you're the one who turned your back on meDon't blame me

Don't blame meShame on you
Shame on you
