[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
