Boy Lyrics by Erasure

Erasure by Vince Clarke and Andy Bell

1997

[Verse 1: Andy Bell]
Love you boy
Till I fall
The child in me again
He plays the fool

Cry for joy
Amen
Ooh, for, after all
It's only love

[Pre-Chorus: Andy Bell]
And the way you stir your coffee like an
An angel in the morning

[Chorus: Andy Bell]
Still you dare to change your mind
You'll be sorry when it's over
When you've had your taste of freedom
Don't come crying on my shoulder

[Verse 2: Andy Bell & Paul Williams]
Save your tears
Don't mean much
Is the guilty party me?
I don't think so

[Pre-Chorus: Andy Bell]
And it, it's no bed of roses lying here
(No bed of roses)
Tossing and turning

[Chorus: Andy Bell & Paul Williams]
Still you dare to change your mind
You'll be sorry when it's over
When you've had your taste of freedom
Don't come crying on my shoulder

[Bridge: Andy Bell]
Ooh, ooh
Oh, oh

Whoa, ooh, eh
Eh

[Pre-Chorus: Andy Bell]
And these, these years of love and giving surely
Must mean something to you

[Coda: Andy Bell & Paul Williams]
Still you dare to change your mind
You'll be sorry when it's over
When you've had your taste of freedom
Don't come crying on my shoulder

Dare to change your mind
You'll be sorry when it's over
When you've had your taste of freedom
Don't come crying on my shoulder

Dare to change your mind
You'll be sorry when it's over
When you've had your taste of freedom
Don't come crying on my shoulder
