Boy at the Window Lyrics by Groove Theory

Groove Theory

1995

[Verse 1]
She was wearing shocking pink and jewelry of gold
Papa said, "Son, isn't she fine?" (Fine)
Knew he would be out all night, though son is only nine years old
This is how he's forced to spend his time
Looking out his window into someone else's home
Watching mother, father, child at play (Play)
Wishing he could be a part but it's too hard to forget he's alone
A typical day
[Chorus]
The boy at the window, one more forgotten son
Ah, looking to the corner to see what he'll become
The boy at the window, if he's still sitting there
(Still sitting there)
Are you even gonna care?
[Verse 2]
Papa always tells his son
"Keep sitting at your window
Don't end up like me, watch from above
You can't go wrong"
More and more, son's thinking won't be too far but I must go in his eyes (Eyes)
The corner is the only place he can belong
Son is smart enough to see it, won't make him somebody
It's better than living with the hypocrisies above
No more smelling hoes and liquor on the breath of daddy
Rather smell it on the breath of brothers he don't know
[Chorus]
The boy at the window, one more forgotten son
Ah, looking to the corner to see what he'll become
The boy at the window, if he's still sitting there
(Still sitting there)
Are you even gonna care?
[Bridge]
Remember when the boy was young and untouched
Happy with his window view, but look, it's not enough
His dreams are in the gutter and now he's just a number
All because he wanted to belong
All because he wanted to belong
[Verse 3]
So he learned to play the role of hustler with no feelings
Thinking, "They'll accept me if I prove that I'm real hard"
Now he's learning firsthand of the word and its true meaning
The window he looks out of now includes wrought iron bars
[Chorus]
The boy at the window, one more forgotten son
Ah, he looked to the corner, and look what he's become
The boy at the window, if he's still sitting there
(Still sitting there)
Are you even gonna care?
The boy at the window, one more forgotten son
Ah, he looking to the corner to see what he'll become
The boy at the window, if he's still sitting there
(Still sitting there)
Are you even gonna care?
[Outro]
Are you even gonna
Gonna care? (Still sitting there)
(Still sitting there)
Gonna care, gonna care, gonna care
Gonna care, yeah, yeah (See what he'll become)
Gonna care (Still sitting there)
Are you gonna care?
