mom says she don't understand, says i'm such a problem child
i'm always getting into trouble, i hurt her all the time
but i don't know who i am, sometimes i don't understand
we get in a lot of fights, then i'm on the road again

i'm a man and i'm a boy
and i want to be happy
but my life is not a toy
somebody help me
i'm livng in the danger zone

dad's always on my case, says he wants me to be a man
but he treats me just like a child, and still wants to hold my hand
he has plans for my future, but i have other dreams
and we can't get together, with arguing

i'm a man and i'm a boy
and i want to be happy
but my life is not a toy
somebody help me
