about
A song written for any child who had to step up in the absence of a parent and take care of their family.
lyrics
Little house in an unknown street,
Dirty faces dirty feet,
Kick around in an unknown town,
Got no rules coz dad aint around,
Money speaks to loveless lives
Like passing grades for a troubled child,
But it’s all good in the neighbourhood,
When theres a door you can’t see behind,
I took it on,
And I took it true,
Man of the house,
It's all I knew,
Little man stepping up to the plate,
Your little sisters need you mate,
I took it on,
And I still do,
Man of the house,
It’s all on you,
Little man stepping up to the plate,
Your little sisters need you mate,
Too many fathers not enough figures,
I can't wait til I get bigger,
Promise I won’t be so scared,
Promise I’ll be more prepared,
Careful words upon my lip and,
Hope the girls can’t tell I’m slippin,
Feel so lazy in all I do,
You know I get that all from you,
I took it on,
And I took it true,
Man of the house,
Its all I knew,
Little man stepping up to the plate,
Your little sisters need you mate,
I took it on,
And I still do,
Man of the house,
It’s all on you,
Little man stepping up to the plate,
Your little sisters need you mate.
