I took up my life with a strange-eyed boy

And he got what I need

And it's something peculiar

He ain't nothing like

I was brought up to want

But I want him for me,

Just for me and sometimes life

I'll fool ya

Sometimes cruel, yeah

But hallelujah for me

The boy with green eyes

Well I got time, time, time for anything

He'd like, you know it's true

And I never seen eyes

That burn into mine, mine, mine

The boy with green eyes

You know he gets through

I walk down the street

That I walked down before

But it don't look the same

Not the same and I know the reason

I picked up my head

And I saw him one day

And the world turned around upside down

You know he's turning me on,

Young girl neon

Look what he's gone and done

They boy with green eyes

Well I got time, time, time

For anything he'd like, you know it's true

And I never seen eyes

That burn into mine, mine, mine

The boy with green eyes

You know he get through

The boy with green eyes

The boy with green eyes
