Boy Lyrics
Stand up straight
Boy
Tuck your shirt
Wipe your face
Nobody likes a crybaby
Boy
Baby boy
Dry your eyes
Welcome to the world
Boy
Stand up straight
Baby boy
Dry your eyes
(Don’t hit your sister)
Don’t hit your sister
Shut your mouth
Wipe your hands
Don’t you cry
Tuck your shirt
Turn off the TV
Don’t hit your sister
Get a job
Turn it down
Find a girl
Rule the world
(Do you call that music)
Don’t sing high
Boy
Use your sense
(Cut your hair)
Get what you want
Shoot your gun
Cut your hair
(Cut your hair)
Drop your phone
Dance with your hands down
Use your name
Rule the world
(Keep it inside)
It’s your right now
Don’t hit your sister
(Nobody likes a crybaby)
We like girls who are thinner, baby
(Don’t hit your sister)
Nobody likes a crybaby boy
Baby boy
Stake your coin
(Shut your mouth)
Drive your car
(What’s is your problem)
Buy a bigger one
(Tuck your shirt in)
(Cat caught in your tongue)
Choose a book
(Don’t make me show you)
Shoot your gun
(If I have to find it)
Don’t get me angry
Don’t sing high
(I have to use it again)
(Don’t make me)
Don’t get me angry
(I don’t have to use it again)
Baby baby
(Shut your mouth)
Baby boy
(Don’t hit your sister)
Keep the noise down
Boy
Use your sense
Baby boy
(Nobody likes a crybaby, boy)
Lift some weights
Win the race
Baby boy
Tuck your shirt
Everybody likes a winner, baby
(Don’t hit your sister)
Everybody likes a winner, baby
Everybody likes a winner
Everybody likes a sinner, baby
Ace the test
Find a girl
Buy a home
(Clean your plates)
Settle down
(Eat your vegetable)
Keep your feelings deep inside
(Don’t be late)
Don’t sing high
Don’t make me use it
We like girls who are thinner, baby
Better lift some weights
We like girls who are thinner, baby
Feed your dog
(Better lift some weights)
(Shut your mouth)
Shoot your gun
Drop your phone
Drive your car
(Don’t make me angry)
It’s your right now
Don’t sing high now
Find a girl
Clean your room
Baby baby baby baby boy
(If I have to find it you’ll be sorry)
We like boys who are trimmer, baby
We like girls who are thinner, baby
Boy
Baby boy
We like girls who are thinner, baby
Baby boy
Don’t sing high
Boy
Baby boy
Go to sleep
Boy
Tuck your shirt

I believe this song is obviously a social commentary on how boys are brought up today in our north-american culture for the most part. Also, I think his dysfunctional relationship with his father was also an inspiration for this particular song.
Yes, it's very strange and deep. He talks about the demons that haunted him as child...
I just think that darren once again tells us how we're trying to be like everybody else because we are raised to it. And it seems obvious that he is singing about how people tell him off for feeling too much and not being a "man".
yes and also most importantly the pressure to marry a girl because it's the 'right' thing to do. Good thing Darren followed his heart and married the person he loves, regardless of that person's gender :)
I read an interview with him at some point and he seemed to suggest that this was a commentary about a parents point of view, and growing up being the youngest in a family.
to me this song seems to be how his father tryed to bring him up...from interveiws he had a pretty rough childhoof
