Lyrics
Two little boys met each other on the playground
Just like the rest, didn't stick out from the crowd
But between themselves they knew that they were different
But they pushed it down 'cause nobody would even listen
Their parents always saying, "Boy, when you grow up
You're gonna find a nice lady, make sure you act tough
You'll be living a life like Barbie and Ken
C'mon, suck it up and forget this nonsense"
What if he wants Ken, not Barbie?
Why should he have to say, "Sorry"?
Tell me, do you even listen
To all the dumb shit you're slipping?
We can love who we want to
Don't say he's not supposed to
If he loves Ken, not Barbie
He doesn't have to say, "Sorry"
No, not to you, not to me
Not to anyone, anyone, anyone
Not to you, not to me
Not to anyone, anyone, anyone
Seventeen years old feeling like a stranger at home
Keeping his head down low, hideaway so that nobody will know
Avoiding mom and dad when they're asking, "Who's your girlfriend?"
'Cause Lord forbid they see his true identity
His parents always saying, "Boy, when will you see
You'll be happy I know, it's just a woman you need
You'll be such a great Ken, just gotta find your Barbie
Make sure you act like a man, it's what you're born to be"
What if he wants Ken, not Barbie?
Why should he have to say, "Sorry"?
Tell me do you even listen
To all the dumb shit you're slipping?
We can love who we want to
Don't say he's not supposed to
If he loves Ken, not Barbie
He doesn't have to say, "Sorry"
No, not to you, not to me
Not to anyone, anyone, anyone
Not to you, not to me
Not to anyone, anyone, anyone
No, no
He doesn't have to say, "Sorry"
No, no
He's never gonna say, "Sorry"
He always wanted Ken, not Barbie
He never ever has to say, "Sorry"
Nobody is gonna listen
To all the dumb shit you're slipping
We can love who we want to
Don't say he's not supposed to
He always loved Ken, not Barbie
And he doesn't have to say, "Sorry"
To you
