Real Boy

All my robot dreams

I'm holding by this string

I'm stuck as I sit and watch

All the others

I'm not quite like them

I have no heart or brain and

If had a chance to be like them

Just for a day

What I'd give to be a real boy

I would trade this soul away

And I will deal with all the bullies

All the schoolwork

If I could just have a single day

And I'll make my parents mad

And I'll cry when I get sad

But in the end I'll be a happy kid

If I had a chance to be a real boy

My painted metal parts

You can tell they probably

Don't get me that far

I really wish I could run away

From this place

I've seen some scary things

I've also been them too

But if I had a choice

I would try not to scare you

What I'd give to be a real boy

I would trade this soul away

And I will deal with all the bullies

All the schoolwork

If I could just have a single day

And I'll make my parents mad

And I'll cry when I get sad

But in the end I'll be a happy kid

If I had a chance to be a real boy

If I could leave this place behind

I would do it in a heartbeat

With no second thoughts

But like I said before

I have no heart that beats

And I have no brains with thoughts

I'm here to stay it seems

What I'd give to be a real boy

I would trade this soul away

And I will deal with all the bullies

All the schoolwork

If I could just have a single day

And I'll make my parents mad

And I'll cry when I get sad

But in the end I'll be a happy kid

If I had a chance to be a real boy
