"Beta Male" lyrics

Call it truancy
Lack of attention, I
Think I'm just uninvolved
Play like Olympians
Tongue acrobatics
Are you brave enough to pull this off?
I watch my friends play dice
In a hope to split the bill and the bed
And I never learned how to up my game
I wasn't kidding, I would need to be led

If you'd just hold my head
Heavy on the way back home
I'm telling you, when I'm full-grown
I'm telling you, when I'm full-grown, oh
I don't know what I want just yet
How could you know?
I'm telling you, when I'm full-grown
I'll roll my own stones
Ooh no, no

Baby, give 'em hell
Show 'em you're the wildest son
Show 'em you're a beta male
Your heart is not for sale
You're proud of all the sides you're on
Proud to be a beta male

You call it apathy
Lack of commitment
I think you're just not my type
Clear every obstacle
It feels like we've done this
But maybe this time, we'll get it right
I watch my friends play tennis
With their hearts in their non-dominant hand
And I never learned the rules for deuce
Now I'm thinking this is part of your plan

If you'd just hold my head
Heavy on the way back home
I'm telling you, when I'm full-grown
I'll roll my own stones

Baby, give 'em hell
Show 'em you're the wildest son
Show 'em you're a beta male
Your heart is not for sale
You're proud of all the sides you're on
Proud to be a beta male

You know my baby's got a sweet, sweet debt to pay
Baby's gonna be a-okay
Baby's proud to be a beta male

See, I was seven when their marriage died
She was eleven when her folks divorced
It takes a second life to get it right
So honey, I'll chart my own course

If you'll hold my head
Heavy on the way back home
I'm telling you, when I'm full-grown
When I'm full-grown
I don't know what I want just yet
How could you know?
I'm telling you, when I'm full-grown, full-grown
I'll be a beta male
Beta male (Male)
I'll be a beta male
Beta male (Male)
I'll be a beta male
I'll be a beta male
