ain't no son

i've got somethin' 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 am still your little man

he said. you ain't no son to me

you ain't no son to me

8 lb. baby boy i bounced on my knee

no

you ain't no son of mine

you ain't no son of mine

ah

forget it girls

there ain't no use in tryin'

don't expect to get my love for free

and don't blame me

you know this ain't no fun for me

this ain't no fun for me

all boys should be boys

that's how it should be

yeah

you ain't comin' home

nah

you ain't comin' home

'til you walk a 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 your knees

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 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

he said. you ain't no son to me

you ain't no son to me

8 lb. baby boy i bounced on my knee

no

you ain't no son of mine

you ain't no son of mine

ah

forget it girls

there ain't no use in tryin'

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 me

shame on me

shame on me
