I try to always be a gentleman
and try to always be a better friend
lately Iâve been feeling half a man
like maybe I should be more who I am
Maybe I should fuck something up good
or maybe I should act like someone bad
I try to live my life like David does
But something always feels just slightly off
Iâm young and maybe thatâs why days to me
they seem like opportunities to test my reach
adopt some ugly habits that are bad for me
and treat some others not so equally
If I thought I knew me well itâs clear as can be
that things are gonna change like a hundred degrees
If I thought I knew me well itâs plain to see
that things are gonna change like a hundred degrees
Donât tell my mother
Donât tell my mother
Donât tell my mother till I pull myself together
Itâs undercover
I hope forever
Donât tell my mother till I pull myself together
I think itâs me
but I just need to see
if this real or just something that I need
Donât tell my mother
Donât tell my mother
Donât tell my mother till I pull myself together
Try to always do what people like
And try to be a man that someone might
look up to in a minute when theyâre feeling down
Like maybe I could be somebody that you love
Or maybe Iâll just keep thinking all about me
Until I get the proper opportunity that I need
Maybe Iâll just keep thinking all of myself
Until I find a way to be in love with somebody else
Maybe Iâll just keep thinking all about me
Until I get the proper opportunity that I need
Donât tell my mother
