Youngr - Boy From Manchester

There was a boy from Manchester
Who never quite fit in
With his curly hair and light skin
He kinda sounds American

His dad was never home
He was a rolling stone
And his friends called him crazy
When he used to say

I don't like football and I don't play cricket
I don't like hip-hop and I don't play reggae
Don't like Oasis, don't play P Diddy
Don't wanna get wasted, don't want your pity

There was a girl back in high school
Who said he wasn't cool
He would write her some love songs
She'd laugh at him then move on

With braces on his face
Too skinny round the waste
He was never one of the cool kids
'Cause he used to say

I don't like football and I don't play cricket
I don't like hip-hop and I don't play reggae
Don't like Oasis, don't play Tom Petty
Don't wanna get wasted, don't want your pity

I'm just a boy from Manchester
Just tryna do my best
My curly hair's amazing
My accent is fading

The things you hate
Will become your traits, yeah
My friends still they call me
They tell me I'm crazy
But not much has changed since the old days

Still don't like football, still don't play cricket
Still don't like hip-hop, but I do play reggae
And I like Oasis and I play Tom Petty
Sometimes get wasted, now I love this city

And we're all laughing now
We're all laughing now
Now we're all winning!
Now we're all winning!

And we're all laughing now
We're all laughing now
Now we're all winning!
Now we're all winning!

And I'm just a boy from Manchester
