Karaoke What a Good Boy Barenaked Ladies

When I was born they looked at me and said

What a good boy

What a smart boy

What a strong boy

And when you were born they looked at you and said

What a good girl

What a smart girl

What a pretty girl

We've got these chains hanging 'round our necks

People want to

Strangle us with them before we take our first breath

Afraid of change afraid of staying the same

When temptation calls we just look away

This name is the hair shirt I wear and this hair shirt is woven from your brown hair

This song is the cross that I bear

Bear with me

Bear with me

Bear with me

Be with me tonight

I know that it isn't right

But be with me tonight

I go to school

I write exams

If I pass if I fail if I drop out does anyone give a damn

And if they do they'll soon forget 'cos it won't take much for me to show my life ain't over yet

I wake up scared

I wake up strange

I wake up wondering if

Anything in my life is ever gonna change

I wake up scared

I wake up strange and everything around me stays the same

It's the hair shirt I wear

And this hair shirt is woven from, it's woven from your brown hair

This song is the cross that I bear

Bear with me

Bear with me

Bear with me

Be with me tonight

I know that it isn't right

Be with me tonight

I couldn't tell you

I was wrong

Chickened out grabbed a pen and a paper sat down and I wrote this song

I couldn't tell you that you were right so instead I looked in the mirror watched TV laid awake all night

We've got these chains hanging 'round our necks

People want to

Strangle us with them before we take our first breath

Afraid of change afraid of staying the same when temptation calls

Yeah, yeah

Oh this name is the hair shirt I wear and this hair shirt is woven from it's woven from it's woven from hair

This song is the cross that I bear

Bear with me

Bear with me

Bear with me

Be with me tonight

And when I was born they looked at me and said

What a good boy

What a smart boy

What a strong boy

And when you were born they looked at you and said

What a good girl

What a smart girl

What a pretty girl

Yeah, yeah
