A Boy Lyrics by Deacon Blue

Believers

2016

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?
