J. Roddy Walston and The Business - Boys Can Never Tell [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

If daddy says the mountain's come off you must believe him true
I will build a science and create a world for you
I'll protect you from yourself and the tendencies you've shown
Cause the world will see a man like you as weak and under grown

And I'm gonna love you son, even if you love no one
This thing you will learn too well
Boys can never tell
Boys can never tell
You should bite your tongue and will your words to fail
Boys can never tell

You're a lady without warning and I've been loyal mean
This is not the body you were born in and I can prove it with what I have seen
So I will raise you tough, build you strong and crown you king
You will put me in the ground and choose yourself a queen

And I'm gonna love you son, even if you love no one
This thing you will learn too well
Boys can never tell
Boys can never tell
You should bite your tongue and will your words to fail
Boys can never tell

I don't expect you to understand how much it took to care
I built you out of half my blood and filled your lungs with air
I only had you to make your mother stay
But when you came she left all the same
So I have learned what love is and what it cannot be
But I will not speak of it, until you will speak of me

And I'm gonna love you son, even if you love no one
This thing you will learn too well
Boys can never tell
Boys can never tell
You should bite your tongue and will your words to fail
Boys can never tell
