Real men don't need other people And real men suck it in Real men don't flinch or bleed in public Oh, I think I'm a real man Little boys cry and look around for comfort And always get what they want Little boys see toys and say, "I can take that!" Oh, you are my little boy Though honestly sir, all I wanna do Is get naked in front of you So you can look me up and down And tell me, "Well done girl, you're looking good" Real men keep cool in the face of a fire Go down with the ship And real men don't eat, 'cause they're above that, damn it Oh, I'm gonna be a real man Though honestly sir, all I wanna do Is get naked in front of you So you can look me up and down And give me your love for being so good But little boys hold me, color me Praise me, make me feel lovely For a little while So little boy, say you want me 'Cause when I can't take it, go ahead Do it, do it

You're home, you're home You're home to me So leave me, leave me Leave me a map I'm here at my cliff looking down I cannot bear you a son, but I will try For if I am not yours, what am I? I daydream I'd give one a name of my own For I, even I, even I am alone I have, I have, I watch a dream Breaking, breaking, breaking me Away from my cliff, I'm looking down from I cannot bear you a son, I have tried But if I am not yours, what am I? I daydream I'd give him a name of my own For I, even mine, even mine is unknown So let me go towards the morning star With hope it won't disappear

There's nothing left for you Nothing in this room Try and go outside Nothing waits for you You had it once before Not anymore So go on to that sweetheart's door And find a new you Give her all the love you saved for it You could touch fire, you could fly It was your right, it was your life And then it passed to someone new It'll keep passing on long after you But you're the only one she's counting on There's nothing left for you
