Boys

I'm as lonely as boys
I'm as lonely as boys
I'm as lonely as monkeys taught to destroy
Anything they learn to enjoy
So pardon me, angel
So pardon me, angel
Pardon me, my love, for you is a stranger
That you met some place but ignored
So break and go home
Break and go home
Why don't you leave me?
Leave me alone
I'm as lonely as boys
Who are lonely for girls
Who are lonely as monkeys taught to enjoy
Everything they learn to destroy
So pardon me, angel
So pardon me, angel
Pardon me, my love, for you is in danger
In danger of becoming a bore
So break and go home
Break and go home
Why don't you leave me?
Leave me alone
I'm the loneliest boy
With the loneliest plan
But I'm ready and want to understand
But that ain't a woman - that's a girl
So pardon me, angel
So pardon my anger
Pardon me, my faith is girls is in danger
She leaves you addicted - wanting more
So break and go home
Why don't you leave me?
Leave me alone
So break and go home
Go home
