A Boy

I first met you on the road

Everyone was rushing past

And you were going slow

You seemed to make me all I should be

Having watched it all on the movies and on tv

I met somebody else

Who spun me around and around

And that made all the difference to me

We were young once

Don't pretend it didn't happen to you

We thought we had it all to come

So what's a boy supposed to do?

We got into your old car

Drove about as fast as it would go and just as far

Till, before we even knew we came

Up to the end of the road

Long before we meant to

I found somebody else

Who spun me around the town

And that made all the difference to me

We were young once

Don't pretend it didn't happen to you

We thought we had it all to come

So what's a boy supposed to do?
