Didn't you know
I was a boy
Before you came
I was a boy
Didn't you know
Before you came
Didn't you know
I was my own
Before you came
I was my own
Didn't you know
Before you came
I was a boy
I was a boy
Before you came
It didn't show
I was a boy
Before you came
I was a boy
It didn't show
Before you came
Yes I was a sir
Before the fire
Before your work
I was a boy
I was a boy
Then I was your girl
Yes I was a sir (I was undiscovered)
Before the fire
Before your work
I was a boy (My best friend was my brother)
I was a boy
Then I was your girl
I was born a sailor
(I was a boy)
(I was a boy)
(Before your work)
Dream what I was made of
I was born a soldier
The sea rolled past my shoulder
I ruled land and water
(I was a boy)
(I was a boy)
(Before your work)
Unlike no one's daughter
I was undiscovered
(I was a boy)
(I was a boy)
(Before your work)
My best friend's my brother
I was born a sailor
Dream what I was made of
I was born a soldier
The sea rolled past my shoulder
I ruled land and water
And my best friend was my brother
