Lyrics

Chorus

The first things I learned about boys and men
I learned from my four brothers
I didn’t realize ‘til I left home
That they set the bar so high
From them I learned
That men are sweet
They love to compete
Men are kind
Men are loving
They cry as often as they laugh
I learned they like to make you laugh in church
And other quiet places
They’re loud and they’re rambunctious
They’re creative and they’re strong

Chorus

The first things I learned about boys and men
I learned from my four brothers
I didn’t realize ‘til I left home
That they set the bar so high
From them I learned
Men are teachers
Men are students
And can be your best friend

Chorus

The first things I learned about boys and men
I learned from my four brothers
I didn’t realize ‘til I left home
That they set the bar so high
I learned that men take care of you
They nurture you
And they treat you with respect and that men and women are pretty much the
same …
I thank you brothers for teaching me to appreciate men
And to not be bitter towards men and
To enjoy men
And it’s a good thing that mom always taught us to forgive….
Repeat last line and fade
