Lyrics

Little Boys

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Life is tough and love is rough

For the man who just can't ever seem to get enough

The days go by and the women come and go

So many that you decide to get rid of your front door

So you don't have to hear them all disappear

You just sit and you wait

Staring at your empty plate

And you can say I'm a lonely sailor

Rockin' gently on my dreams

'Cause I can have it all, but I don't want it all

And it ain't like I've never ever ever tried

I've just never been fully satisfied

But just a tie a little shoelace

And to share a sleeping bag

And I look ahead to the days

When I can look back at all the fun that I've had

But still, but still, but still..

I see so many little boys I wanna marry

I see plenty little kids I've yet to have

Even when the moon goes out

Even when the sea dried out

I still see so many little boys I wanna marry

I see plenty little kids I've yet to have now

Even when the sea's all freeze

And everything's lying underneath

Even when the sun ceases to shine

I won't care, I'll still have on my mind

So many little boys I wanna marry yeah yeah

I see plenty little kids I've yet to have

And in the shower I get my dreaming done

I hold my breath and I wait for the day to come

Oh little Billy, little Timmy, little Jimmy, you're the one

I may not look it, but I swear my heart is young for so many..

Little boys I wanna marry

I see plenty little kids I've yet to have you know you know

I've got many little boys I wanna marry, yeah you know

I've got many little kids I've yet to have

Oh oh, Yeah yeah

Little boys I wanna marry, yeah you know

I've got plenty little kids I've yet to have now, yeah you know

I've got so many, so many little boys I wanna marry now, marry now

So many...
