lyrics

I sleep well at night
My honey wraps her arms around me oh so tight
Secure in knowing that I'll always treat her right
No convo ever escalates into a fight
And I don't scare my sons
When I come home, they never have to hide or run
They don't get hit for what they have or haven't done
I grab a toy and we spend all night having fun
And I don't take advice from men
Who care more about being powerful than being loved
I've seen it time and time again
They've stained the fabric of my youth with tears and blood
But home is where the family curses end
My home is where the family curses end

And I don't raise my voice
I may get mad, but even then I have a choice
I don't let my anger turn my signal into noise
I take a few deep breaths, then I maintain my poise
I do things my way
Who cares if it makes me look feminine or gay?
Who said that I'd mind being either anyway?
They're not the people I come home to every day
And I don't take advice from men
Who care more about being masculine than being good
I've seen it time and time again
They impose such silly rules, and never question why they should
