Boy (Definitive Version) Lyrics

Has anybody seen a boy walking round?

With his hands in his pockets and a smile on his frown

His girl said she won't go with him to the playground

Man I hope he's still in town

And as much as I hate to say this

I think I really need him

Cause he's the one that sees the color in the world

When it all seems gray

And it all feels gray

He makes it okay

And as she walked away a tear left my eye

But it didn't feel like mine so I guess that it was a sign

That it came from the boy who lives inside my head

When I need to cry he does it for me instead

This boy protects me from the things that I've said

And he takes the blame and feels the shame so I can lay in bed and feel nothing

At all

I'm staring at the wall

And as much as I hate to say this

I think I really need him

Cause he's the one that saw everything as a game

I'm sorry

I'm just tired of being played

And as she walked away a tear left my eye

But it didn't feel like mine so I guess that it was a sign

That it came from the boy who lives inside my head

When I need to cry he does it for me instead

And all these winter nights they last way too long

When the man locks out the boy

And he's left to sing his song in the cold

It's getting old

Somebody let him in

Ooh
