Tell your son he should always be polite
To don't mistake her love as an invite
Prepare him for a drunken night out
Teach your son how to treat a girl right
It's time to speak your mind
But don't tell them, "Boys don't cry"
You gotta be the one to set an example
So he can be a greater man than I ever had
If you are not the one to teach them better, oh
We will get another boy that's stuck in the past
With daddy issues
Don't wanna tell her that she has to worry
Not gonna teach her the teasing or flirting
Oh, will I have the talk with your late night walk in?
(Talking and talking and talking and talking)
Don't wanna tell her what my mom told me
It's time to speak your mind
But don't tell them, "Boys don't cry"
You gotta be the one to set an example
So he can be a greater man than I ever had
If you are not the one to teach them better, oh
We will get another boy that's stuck in the past
With daddy issues
Daddy issues
Yeah, it's time to speak your mind
But don't tell them, "Boys don't cry"
You gotta be the one to set an example (You gotta be the one to set)
So he can be a greater man than I ever had
If you are not the one to teach them better (Better, better)
We will get another boy that's stuck in the past
With daddy issues
Daddy issues
Daddy issues
(Daddy, daddy issues)
Daddy issues
