Lyrics for Young Boy Blues
Every time I kiss somebody new, I, uh Make believe I'm kissing you but, uh I can't kid my aching heart 'cause, uh My heart knows we're still apart and, uh Each night is like a thousand years, oh, oh I can't lose these young boy blues I wanna cry when I hear your name, but If I cry, I feel ashamed, so I let my pride be my guide and then I keep those tears inside, so Each night is like a thousand years, oh, oh Since I've got these young boy blues, mmm Don't know where to go Don't know what to do I'm so lonesome and lonely Since I lost you Every time I kiss somebody new, I, uh Make believe I'm kissing you but, uh I can't kid my aching heart 'cause, uh My heart knows we're still apart and Each night is like a thousand years, oh, oh I can't lose these young boy blues, mmm Each night is like a thousand years, oh, oh I can't lose these young boy blues, mmm Each night is like a thousand years
