[Verse 1]
Heads popped up, the loud speaker blared
A thousand different men, the same feeling shared
Eyes were all blurry from sleepless nights
It was all adding up this must be a sign
His shoulders were sore, just like he was told
Something about, "You reap what you sow"
He digs up the past, every time he comes home
Hearing his mom, talk to his aunt on the phone

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Is destiny calling my name?
Is destiny calling my name?
Yeah!
Michael, Michelle, Mikel, put a label on ya
England, France visit Scandinavia

[Chorus]
Hey kids! You're so precious
You're just a boy like the rest of us
Hey kids! You're so precious
You're just a boy like the rest of us
You're just a boy like the rest of us
Work it out

[Verse 2]
I like a good story much as the next guy
I like a tear jerker that makes me cry
But you're scaring the kids and it's passed bedtime
You're putting ideas into their curious minds!
"Never again!" is what we all said
Never again! or we'll all end up dead
Your tall tales follow and surround me
When all I ever wanted was your arms around me
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Is destiny calling my name?
Is destiny calling my name?
Oh!
Mary, Maria, Molly be adventurous
Holland, Spain, don't forget the Irish

[Chorus]
Hey kids! You're so precious
You're just a girl like the rest of us
Hey kids! You're so precious
You're just a girl like the rest of us
You're just a girl like the rest of us

[Bridge]
Michael, Michelle, Mikel, put a label on ya
England, France, visit Scandinavia
Mary, Maria, Molly be adventurous
Don't forget the Irish, please don't forget the Irish!

[Outro]
Hey kids! You're so precious
You're just a boy like the rest of us
Hey kids! You're so precious
You're just a boy like the rest of us
Hey kids! You're so precious
You're just a girl like the rest of us
Hey kids! You're so precious
You're just a girl like the rest of us
You're just a boy like the rest of us
Yeah!
