I Was a Boy
Didn't you know
I was a boy
Before you came
I was a boy
Didn't you know
Before you came
Didn't you know
I was my own
Before you came
I was my own
Didn't you know
Before you came
I was a boy
I was a boy
Before you came
It didn't show
I was a boy
Before you came
I was a boy
It didn't show
Before you came
Yes, I was a sire
Before the fire
Before your work
I was a boy
I was a boy
Then I was your girl
Yes, I was a sire (I was undiscovered)
Before the fire
Before your work
I was a boy (my best friend was my brother)
I was a boy
Then I was your girl
(I was born a sailor)
(Dream what I was made of) I was a boy
I was a boy
Before your work
(I was born a soldier
The sea rolled past my shoulder)
I ruled land and water
(Unlike no one's daughter) I was a boy
I was a boy
Before your work
(I was undiscovered)
(My best friend was my brother) I was a boy
I was a boy
Before your work
(I was born a sailor
Dream what I was made of
I was born a soldier
The sea rolled past my shoulder
I ruled land and water
And my best friend was my brother)
