"Boys" lyrics

"Boys"

Stay on the phone
It's getting dark, and I'm all alone
Walk through the park on the long way home
So, don't make me laugh while I cross these roads
Spent way too long
Learning the words to a stupid song
Let's put on a show till it all goes wrong
And get all dressed up for nothing (All dressed up for nothing)

I miss those boys
With dodgy haircuts and bad skin
Not a clue what was happening (Ooh)
Looking back, we didn't know ourselves
But it was love
The type you're not really noticing
Until you're up in the north again (Ooh)
Just boys who didn't know ourselves
We had it oh-so good

Laugh till you cry
Blue shirt with a black tie
When the clock gets to midnight
And I'm throwing up at the worst times
Where did it go?
It's like I watch you on a TV show
You're the same but you're not really, though
I hope you think about me as you grow

I miss those boys
With dodgy haircuts and bad skin
Not a clue what was happening (Ooh)
Looking back, we didn't know ourselves (We didn't know ourselves)
But it was love
The type you're not really noticing
Until you're up in the north again (Ooh)
Just boys who didn't know ourselves
We had it oh-so good

We had it oh-so good
We had it oh-so good
We had it oh-so good
We had it oh-so good
We had it oh-so good, we had it oh-so good
We had it oh-so good, we had it oh-so good
We had it oh-so good, we had it oh-so good
(Ooh) We had it oh-so good, we had it oh-so good
We had it oh-so, oh-so, oh-so, so good

I miss those boys
With dodgy haircuts and bad skin
Not a clue what was happening (Ooh)
Looking back, we didn't know ourselves (We didn't know ourselves)
But it was love
The type you're not really noticing
Until you're up in the north again (Ooh)
Just boys who didn't know ourselves (We didn't know ourselves)
We had it oh-so good
