Boy - Spalding Rockwell

To be loved is a thrilling sensation, as thrilling as can be Though it happens in every nation, they greet if differently Every mademoiselle with pasoolala, every Englishman talks to his patter Every spittin' Venetian goes tra la la and the Irish say Mother Machree But when I look at you and I thrill like I do, there is only one thing I can say Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy what a joy, a joy, a joy, a joy, a joy To know that you love me by heaven above me I never expected to pick you off the vine (The others will try and try and try and try and try) (To give you the eye, the eye, the eye, the eye, the eye) But when they approach you, I'll keep them in line By telling them oh boy, oh boy, oh boy you're mine La, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la Certain characters hi-diddle-diddle when cupid comes along Some mechanics shift gears in the middle and drummers kick the gong Every cowboy I know hollers yipee-a-ay Every clown in the circus goes hoopla Every sailor in port hollers anchors aweigh And an Indian gives you a ugg! But when you hold me tight like you're doing tonight There's only one thing I can say Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh, boy what a joy, a joy, a joy, a joy, a joy To know that you love me by heaven above me I never expected to pick you off the vine (The others will try and try and try and try and try) (To give you the eye, the eye, the eye, the eye, the eye) But when they approach you, I'll keep them in line By telling them oh boy, oh boy, oh boy Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy you're mine

You touched my life With your softness in the night My wish was your command Until you ran out of love I tell myself I'm free Got the chance of livin' just for me No need to hurry home Now that you're gone Knife Cuts like a knife How will I ever heal? I'm so deeply wounded Knife Cuts like a knife You cut away the heart of my life When I pretend Wear a smile to fool my dearest friends I wonder if they know It's just a show I'm on a stage Day and night I go through my charades But how can I disguise What's in my eyes? Knife Cuts like a knife How will I ever heal? I'm so deeply wounded Knife Cuts like a knife You cut away the heart of my life Oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh... I've tried and tried Blocking out the pain i feel inside The pain of wanting you Wanting you Knife Cuts like a knife How will I ever heal? I'm so deeply wounded Knife Cuts like a knife How will I ever heal? I'm so deeply wounded You cut away the heart Of my life

Madeline Tell me at what time do you set sail? There's no one in this town left that could hold me Already packed my bags, could leave today Girl at the front of the line I'm sorry but I cannot let you sign Your arms are far too skinny and you'd never Last a single day upon my ship The open sea is no place for a lady There's reasons that they say we cannot board Before you say, "But Maddie, you're a lady, too!" I've long ago denounced that wretched word Madeline, tell me what time does your posse ride? Cos I've been chopping wood And starting fist fights Surely this time let me at your side Girl at the front of the line I'm sorry but I cannot let you sign You've only tried a pony at the school fair You wouldn't last a day amongst my men The canyon is just no place for a lady There's reasons that they say we shouldn't ride Before you say, "But Maddy, you're a lady too!" I've long ago denounced that wretched word Madeline Yes, I might scream and sing and sob and dance But I can swing a sword just like a soldier So, Maddie, won't you give me just one chance? Girl at the front of the line You'll work twice as hard for half the pay But if you can deflect their filthy comments One day you shall rise up and take my place The battle field is no place for a lady So no one would expect to see you there And if you use this trick to your advantage, girl You'll cut them to their knees as if in prayer
