Lyrics

Sweetie & Shag

When the hurt is let in

All the girls I feel 'em darken

For there is that girl I'm lovin'

But they rip too wide for jumping

Life of boy where do you sleep?

There's the girl where do you go?

Life of boy what do you see?

What do you know, what do you know?

Why should I be a fantasy?

Don't nobody know no one else is

Why would I be like a child they found dead again?

When the hurt is laying low

All the girls I feel enduring

For there is the girls are laughing

But they rip too wide for jumping

Life of boy where do you sleep?

There's the girl what do you see?

Life of boy how much do you know?

What do you know, what do you know?

Why should I be a fantasy?

Don't nobody know no one else is

Why would I be like a child they found dead again?
