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 man

He 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 trying

Don't expect to get my love for free
And don't blame me

Well, this ain't no fun for me
This ain't fun for me
Oh, boys should be boys
That's how it should be, yeah

You ain't coming home
No, you ain't coming home
'Til you walk the straight line
You'll be out on your own

Don't expect to save your soul for free
When you're the one who turned your back on me

Aren't you a sight to see
Yeah, you're a sight to see
What you call freedom
Makes you look like a freak, yeah

You must get around
'Cause it sure got around
Don't you know that
I can't show my face in this town

Don't think I'm gonna get you up off of me
When you're the one who turned your back on me

Stranger, stranger on the wall
When the neighbors come to call
I just don't know what to say
So I'll put you away

This 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 away

He 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 trying

Don't expect to get my love for free
When you're the one who turned your back on me

Don't blame me
Yeah, don't blame me
Don't blame me

Shame on you
Shame on you
Shame on you
