Lover 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'll tell you from the start
He's gonna break your heart
You can't stop the lover boy
You can't stop the lover boy
He's gonna tell you lies
But you won't realize
Because you can't stop the lover boy
You can't stop the lover boy
He's got a thing in his head
It's from a book he's read
It's got a funny title
It tells you how to be vital
He took a lot of time
Over every line
Because it's guaranteed
To satisfy
The lover boy
- He's gonna knock 'em dead
He treats 'em like a toy
- The boy's got that book read
You can't stop the lover boy
You can't stop the lover boy
Right from the clothes he wears
The way he combs his hair
You can't stop him now because he knows all the tricks
He used to have a problem but he got it fixed
He took a small apartment
Above a shoe department
And he could see from his window
All the lights in the street glow
There's a club on the corner
And tonight he will go there
To find a new affair
So all you ladies beware
Nah-nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah-nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah-nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah-nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah
He's got to have a good time in the city
He's got to have a good time every night
He's gonna love 'em and leave 'em, cheat and deceive 'em
He's gonna show 'em who's wrong and who's right
He's got to have a good time in the city
He's got to have a good time every night
He's gonna love 'em and leave 'em, cheat and deceive 'em
He's gonna show 'em who's wrong and who's right
He's got to have a good time in the city
He's got to have a good time every night
He's gonna love 'em and leave 'em, cheat and deceive 'em
He's gonna show 'em who's wrong and who's right
Nah-nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah-nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah-nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah-nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah
