[00:01.000] 作曲 : Dar Williams
[00:11.875]I won't forget when Peter Pan came to my house took my hand
[00:16.550]I said I was a boy I'm glad he didn't check
[00:22.494]I learned to fly I learned to fight
[00:24.851]I lived a whole life in one night
[00:27.260]We saved each other's lives out on the pirate's deck
[00:33.455]And I remember that night
[00:35.355]When I'm leaving a late night with some friends
[00:38.260]And I hear somebody tell me it's not safe
[00:41.863]someone should help me
[00:44.268]I need to find a nice man to walk me home
[00:48.151]When I was a boy I scared the pants off of my mom
[00:52.808]Climbed what I could climb upon
[00:58.818]And I don't know how I survived
[01:01.230]I guess I knew the tricks that all boys knew
[01:08.882]And you can walk me home but I was a boy too
[01:30.384]I was a kid that you would like just a small boy on her bike
[01:35.288]Riding topless yeah I never cared who saw
[01:44.751]I said No way it's the last time I'm not breaking any law
[01:52.126]And now I'm in a clothing store and the sign says less is more
[01:56.996]More that's tight means more to see
[01:59.403]more for them not more for me
[02:03.064]That can't help me climb a tree in ten seconds flat
[02:06.971]When I was a boy see that picture That was me
[02:11.641]Grass-stained shirt and dusty knees
[02:17.631]And I know things have gotta change
[02:20.091]They got pills to sell they've got implants to put in
[02:23.522]they've got implants to remove
[02:27.533]But I am not forgetting
[02:36.254]That I was a boy too
[02:49.066]And like the woods where I would creep it's a secret I can keep
[02:53.898]Except when I'm tired except when I'm being caught off guard
[02:59.814]I've had a lonesome awful day the conversation finds its way
[03:04.938]To catching fire-flies out in the backyard
[03:10.861]And I tell the man I'm with about the other life I lived
[03:16.029]And I say now you're top gun I have lost and you have won
[03:21.799]And he says Oh no no can't you see
[03:25.757]When I was a girl my mom and I we always talked
[03:30.176]And I picked flowers everywhere that I walked
[03:36.746]And I could always cry now even when I'm alone I seldom do
[03:46.341]And I have lost some kindness
[03:54.702]But I was a girl too
[03:59.579]And you were just like me and I was just like you
