Kisses blown are kisses wasted. Kisses aren't kisses unless they're tasted. Kisses are germs and germs are hated. But you can kiss me baby; I'm vaccinated.

Sheltered as a child my parents thought they were protecting me
But all it really did was set me up to be emotional you see
I got bullied as a kid got dirt kicked in my face
Got pushed down on the playground just because I was a different race
They told me stay down or they would keep me there
But each time I got back up I took their threats as a dare
A challenge if you may that they could not be beat
So I stood my ground every time on my own two feet
