Rod Stewart - Only A Boy Lyrics
(rod stewart/kevin savigar & jim cregan)Single file in the girls corridorCome along, stewart laddie!Stewart boy, youll never be much,cause youre too busy acting the fool.Thank you sir for them few kind words,On my last day of school.Oh, but my mama said, I could be a success,If Id only get myself out of bed.Words of wisdom, but I wasnt listning,I had plans in my head.Only a boy,Trying it on,Coming on strong,Restless to roam,Only a boy,Silly and proud,Reckless and loud,Impressing the crowd,Only a boy.Rockn roll was in my brain,Eddie cochrane running through my brain.Skin tight trousers in council houses,The unemployment exchange.The blues I played were mississippi madeAnd evry friday night Id fall in love.Football fields and teenage pillsNothings enough.Only a boy,Dressing to kill,Passion to spill,Hand in the till.Only a boy,Slipping it in,Thin as a pin,Chasing a dream,Only a boy.Climb down off the school roof laddieOh and them dukes of freedom, I used to believe them,And all their rebelious vows.The critics, the cynics, who never understood it,Where are they now?And all the wondering and the stumblingThat goes hand in hand with change.The yearning, the earning was it all part of learning,Or am I still the same?Only a boyLaughing aloud,Quick as a shot,Nobody can stop.Only a boy,Plans of his own,Leaving his home,Knows where hes going,Only a boy.Only a boy,Only a boy,Only a boy, ha ha, oh
