Michelle Lewis - Homesick lyrics

(Michelle Lewis/Teddy Kumpel)

Daddy makes me march across the room

He thinks that I walk weirdly for a boy

He says, "Take out the swagger and don't cry to mother

And don't try to run away

'Cause you don't want to see me get annoyed"

And all our momma says is

Oh my little one, I think my work is done

It's time to send you out on your own

Just take it easy and I won't have to worry about you

'Cause you can never come back home

High school isn't kind when you are different

I pretend I'm on the Enterprise searchin' for another life

And I'm sick of the soccer team

I hate having to be so mean

But I don't know how

I'll spend another year locked up inside

And all you got to say is

Oh my little one, I think my work is done

It's time to send you out on your own

Just take it easy and I won't have to worry about you

'Cause you can never come back, you can never come back

Homesick,

Homesick,

Homesick, I'm sick of being around

Some kids get allowance, some even get acceptance

Some get love

But I just get the back of his hand

My turn to say it and

So my hollow ones, I guess your work is done

You got a kid who turned out queer

And you had a special touch, I thank you very much

But I am outta here, I am outta here

Homesick,

Homesick,

Homesick,

Homesick

Homesick

I'm sick of being around
