F Am
two little boys, met each other on the playground
Em
just like the rest, didn't stick out from the crowd
F Am
but between themselves, they knew that they were different
Em
but they pushed it down, cause nobody would even listen
[Pre-Chorus]
F Am
their parents always saying "boy when you grow up, you're gonna find a nice lady, make sure you act though.
Em
you'll be living a life like barbie and ken, cmon suck it up and forget this nonsense"
[Chorus]
F
what if he wants ken, not barbie?
Am
why should he have to say sorry?
Em
tell me do you even listen, to all the dumb shit you're slippin'
F
we can love who we want to
Am
don't say he's not supposed to
Em
if he loves ken, not barbie
he doesn't have to say sorry
F
no not to you
not to me
Am
not to anyone, anyone, anyone
Em
not to you
not to me
not to anyone, anyone, anyone
[Verse 2]
F Am
seventeen years old, feeling like a stranger at home
Em
keeping his head down low, hide away so that nobody will know
F Am
avoiding mum and dad, when they're asking "who's your girlfriend?"
Em
cause lord forbid they see, his true identity
[Pre-Chorus]
F
his parents always saying "boy when will you see?
Am
you'll be happy I know, it's just a woman you need.
Em
you'll be such a nice ken, just gotta find your barbie-
make sure you act like a man, it's what you born to be."
[Chorus]
F
what if he wants ken, not barbie?
Am
why should he have to say sorry?
Em
tell me do you even listen, to all the dumb shit you're slippin'
F
we can love who we want to
Am
don't say he's not supposed to
Em
if he loves ken, not barbie
he doesn't have to say sorry
F
no not to you
not to me
Am
not to anyone, anyone, anyone
Em
not to you
not to me
not to anyone, anyone, anyone
