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 & true I had a crush on every girl I saw they never knew I have never told a single soul but you Boys with their barbies & girls with toy armies We do not have to play by their rules I do not know where it started All these roles & 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 & the teachers looked concerned Although they tried to stop me getting burned I guess they did not realise it would hurt Boys with their barbies & girls with toy armies We do not have to play by their rules Boys being prudes while the girls make their moves We do not have to play by their rules So let them wear that dress let them make that mess Let them take that fall let them kick that ball 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 Boys with their barbies & girls with toy armies We don't have to play by their rules Boys staying home while their girls on the run We do not have to play by their rules Play by their rules
