Man of the House Letra - Jorge Rivera-Herrans

When I turned nine, my dad pulled me aside and said

"Son, I'm going insane" (Oh-woah)

"I'm losing my mind, don't have too much time

And soon you'll take over my reign" (Oh-woah)

"Your cunningness will make you tough

'Cause bravery is not enough" (Oh-woah)

I could tell his time was getting shorter

His voice was getting weaker

He could barely speak

And all I could think was

Where is he?

Where is the man who was larger than life? (Oh-woah)

Where is he?

Where is the man who was sharp as a knife?

'Cause in my darkest days, the pain was our drive

Time is fleeting, it's running out

Time to be the man of the house

At the age of thirteen, I became he third king of Ithaca and did it with pride (Oh-woah)

The years passed by and it clearly was time for me to find a faithful bride (Oh-woah)

Everybody wanted Helen of Sparta

I wanted someone smarter (Oh-woah)

Part of her family tree was the girl for me

A girl I would give the world to see

Penelope

She made every heart in our vicinity soar, felt like infinity roars

She was the first thing I had an affinity for

She's what I saved my virginity for

Oh, she was the cleverest girl I'd ever seen

Articulate, serene, the wittiness of my dreams, I wanted to scream

And long before we had a chance to meet

I knew we were thinking the same thing, we were wondering

Where is he?

Where is the man who'll have you to wife? (Where is the man who'll have me to wife?)

Oh-woah

Where is he?

Where is the man with whom you'll spend your life (Where is the man with whom I'll spend my life?)

'Cause in my darkest days ('Cause in our darkest days)

Penelope's my drive (Penelope's his drive)

Time is fleeting, it's running out

Time to be the man of the house
