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

I was born a welder’s son

And I don’t forget where I come from

A little hard to understand

'Cause I’m half a boy and half a man

And I don’t wanna die 'til the living’s been done

Lord knows I’ve had my fun

Getting high in the noon day sun

Watching them come and go one by one

Yeah

I’ll never be your one and only

There’s more to me than what you see

I can’t help being what I am

I’m half a boy and half a man

And 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 'til the living’s been done

Lord knows I’ve had my fun

Getting high in the noon day sun

Watching them come and go one by one

Yeah

I’ll never be your one and only

There’s more to me than what you see

I can’t help being 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 the one and only

There’s more to me than what you see

I can’t help being what I am

I’m half a boy and half a man

I’ll never be the one and only

There’s more to me than what you see

I can’t help being what I am

'Cause I’m half a boy and half a man
