Ben Lee - Boy With A Barbie lyrics

I was a boy with a barbie when they teased me it was hard Just a boy with a barbie from the start Don't think it meant to break my heart I was a boy with a barbie this is beautiful and true I had a crush on every girl I saw they never knew I've never told a single soul but you [Chorus] Boys with their barbies and girls with toy armies We don't have to play by their rules I don't know where it started, all these roles and make believe Just a boy with a totem make believe Now it seems naive, I kept my heart upon my sleeve I was a boy with a barbie and the teachers looked concerned Although they tried to stop me getting burned I guess they didn't realize it would hurt [Chorus] Boys with their barbies and girls with toy armies We don't have to play by their rules Boys being prudes while the girls make thier moves We don't have to play by their rules So let them wear that dress, let them make that mess Let em take that fall, let em kick that ball And thank to the ones that tried to stop my fun You made me what I am, you made me what I am You made me a man [Chorus] Boys with their barbies and girls with toy armies We don't have to play by their rules Boys staying home while their girls on the run We don't have to play by their rules Play by their rules
