Beta Male - RIPÉ

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 my 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

(Oh, 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

Feels like we’ve done this

But maybe this time we’ll get it right

I watch my friends play tennis

With their heart in their non-dominant hand

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 steep, steep debt to pay

Baby’s gonna be a-ok

Baby’s proud to be a beta male

See, I was seven when their marriage died

She was 11 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

I’ll be a beta male

Beta male

I’ll be a beta male

I’ll be a beta male
