i was a boy with a barbie when they teased me it was hard
just a boy with a barbie from the start
don't think it meant to break my hearti was a boy with a barbie this is beautiful and true
i had a crush on every girl i saw they never knew
i've never told a single soul but youchorus
boys with their barbies and girls with toy armies
we don't have to play by their rulesi don't know where it started, all these roles and make believe
just a boy with a totem make believe
now it seems naive, i kept my heart upon my sleevei was a boy with a barbie and the teachers looked concerned
although they tried to stop me getting burned
i guess they didn't realize it would hurtchorus
boys with their barbies and girls with toy armies
we don't have to play by their rulesboys being prudes while the girls make thier moves
we don't have to play by their rulesso let them wear that dress, let them make that mess
let em take that fall, let em kick that ball
and thank to the ones that tried to stop my fun
you made me what i am, you made me what i am
you made me a manchorus
boys with their barbies and girls with toy armies
we don't have to play by their rulesboys staying home while their girls on the run
we don't have to play by their rules
play by their rules
