| 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 |
