Lyrics

Boy

[Verse 1]

Oh, I am

I'm tired out

By life, it drags me down

And all, these thoughts

That I'm swimming in

I feel like I could drown

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause everything is moving too fast for me to see

And these assholes try to make me something

I don't wanna be

And the best news I can hear all day

Is for you to say to me

[Chorus]

Boy, it's alright

It's alright, it's alright

And boy, it's alright

You'll be with me tonight

Tonight

Tonight

[Verse 2]

Wait, don't move

You are beautiful

I know that I'll always be

And oh, your eyes, they are open now

I've never felt more proud than when

The both of them are focused

On me

[Pre-Chorus]

But everything is moving too fast for me to see

And these assholes, they try to make me something

I could never be

And the best news I can hear all day

Is for you to say to me

Say

[Chorus]

Boy, it's alright

It's alright, it's alright

And boy, it's alright

You'll be with me tonight

And boy, it's alright

You're my life, you're my light

Boy, it's alright

I will dream of you tonight

Tonight

Tonight
