Mad About The Boy
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.
I'm mad about the boy
And I know it's stupid to be mad about the boy
I'm so ashamed of it
But must admit the sleepless nights I've had
About the boy
On the silverscreen
He melts my foolish heart in every single scene
Although I'm quite aware
That here and there are traces of the cad
About the boy
I know I'm not a fool girl
I really shouldn't care
I know I'm not a school girl
Who's in the flurry of her first affair
Will it ever cloy
This odd diversity of misery and joy
I'm feeling quite insane and young again
And all because I'm mad about the boy
