Barenaked Ladies - What A Good Boy Lyrics

Send "What A Good Boy" ringtone to your cell

When I was born they looked at me and said

"What a good boy what a smart boy what a strong boy"

And when you were born they looked at you and said

"What a good girl what a smart girl what a pretty girl"

We've got these chains hangin' around our necks

People want to strangle us with them

Before we take our first breath

Afraid of change afraid of staying the same

When temptation calls we just look away

This name is the hairshirt I wear

And this hairshirt is woven from your brown hair

This song is the cross that I bear

Bear with me bear with me bear with me

Be with me tonight

I know that it isn't right but be with me tonight

I go to school I write exams

If I pass if I fail if I drop out does anyone give a damn?

And if they do they'll soon forget

'Cause it won't take much for me

To show my life ain't over yet

I wake up scared I wake up strange

I wake up wondering if anything

In my life is ever going to change

I wake up scared I wake up strange

And everything around me stays the same

It's the name is the hairshirt I wear

And this hairshirt is woven from

Is woven from your brown hair

This song is the cross that I bear

Bear with me and with me and with me

Be with me tonight

I know that it isn't right but be with me tonight

I couldn't tell you that I was wrong

I chickened out grabbed a pen and paper

I sat down and I wrote this song

I couldn't tell you that you were right

So instead I looked in the mirror

Watched TV laid away all night

Got these chains that hang 'round our necks

People want to strangle us with them

Before we take our first breath

Afraid of change afraid of staying the same

When temptation calls yeah

Oh this name is the hairshirt I wear

And this hairshirt is woven from

Woven from your brown hair

This song is the cross that I bear

Bear with me bear it with me bear it with me

Be with me tonight

When I was born they looked at me and said

"What a good boy what a smart boy what a strong boy"

When you were born they looked at you and said

"What a good girl what a smart girl what a pretty girl hey"

What a pretty girl hey
