[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Post-Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Outro] 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
