"Real Boy" lyrics

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
