Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Coming home from the school today
Crying all along the way
Ain't no way for a boy to be
Begging, "Mama, shave me please"
[Verse 2]
You little punks think you own this town
With someone's gonna bring you down
Life ain't pretty for a dog faced boy
Life ain't pretty for a dog faced boy
[Verse 3]
You take back what you said now
That's the last time I cry
You don't know what it is to be a friend, now
Till I walk beside you on the street and now
Ma won't shave me, Jesus can't save me, dog faced boy
[Verse 4]
Life ain't pretty for a dog faced boy
Life ain't pretty for a dog faced boy
Life ain't pretty for a dog faced boy
Life ain't pretty for a dog faced boy
[Verse 5]
Going back to the school tomorrow
Hang my heavy head in sorrow
Ain't no way for a boy to be
Ain't no way to set me free, now
[Verse 6]
Ma won't shave me, Jesus can't save me, dog faced boy
Ma won't shave me, Jesus can't save me, dog faced boy
