Fathers Want Sons Lyrics

Fathers want sons

It's all I've ever known

My dad had two girls

And swore God would give him a son

I grew up in the shadow of a boy who did not exist

Until he did

Cause fathers want sons

I'm just now coming to terms

With the fact that God likes girls

I can't make you want me

(I can't make you want me)

I can only be me

(I can only be me)

Want more more as less of me

More like the girl that you dream of

I can't make you want me

I don't know what lovers want

But it's probably not me

So when you start packing up your things

It's not surprising

I spent so long trying to be what people want

But I only know

That fathers want sons

Just a little artifact from childhood

Still haunts me

I can't make you want me

(I can't make you want me)

I can only be me

(I can only be me)

Want more more as less of me

More like the girl that you dream of

I can't make you want me

No I can't make you love me

Anytime anyone says they want me

I find it so hard to believe

Darling I know it's crippling to deal

With all of my insecurities

I try to move on

But there's a kid in me singing this song

I can't make you want me

(I can't make you want me)

I can only be me

(I can only be)

Want more more as less of me

More like the girl that you dream of

I can't make you want me

I can't make you want me
