Brendan Benson - Half a Boy (Half a Man) Lyrics

I was born a welder's son
I don't forget where I come from
Little hard to understand
Cause I'm half a boy and half a man

And I don't wanna die till the living's been done
Lord knows I've had my fun
Getting high in the noonday sun
Watching them come and go one by one

I'll never be your one and only
There's more to me than what you see
I can't help it what I am
I'm half a boy and half a man

I left my home at an early age
Broke my chains and rattled my cage
Kicked around in an old tin can
That's why I'm half a boy and half a man

And I don't wanna die till the living's been done
Lord knows I've had my fun
Getting high in the noonday sun
Watching them come and go one by one

I'll never be your one and only
There's more to me than what you see
I can't help it what I am
I'm half a boy and half a man

And I don't stop and I can't say no
I get a taste and away I go
Both a tiger and a little lost lamb
I'm half a boy and half a man

I'll never be your one and only
There's more to me than what you see
I can't help it what I am
I'm half a boy and half a man
