Alice Wallace - Elephants Lyrics

Walk with a purpose through the parking lot
Keys 'tween your knuckles cause you aint got claws
Rememberin' when your daddy taught you that
Boys will be boys you gotta watch your back

Sittin' there drinkin at the bar alone
Sharks come circle wanna take you home
Better not play coy, better be not be mean
Boys will be boys and they are fragile things

They got names for the ones who talk back
And the ones who wear those clothes
They got names for the ones who say yes
And the ones who say no

Hey baby why you gotta be that way?
Gimme a smile you got a pretty face
There are things you do and things you can't
Live quiet as a mouse in a room full of elephants

Lookin' so handsome in his Sunday best
He said he's sorry you know the rest
Shouldn't really blame him he's just a kid
Boys will be boys don't call him what he is

But they got names for the ones who talk back
And the ones who wear those clothes
They got names for the ones who say yes
And the ones who say no
