Young Boy Blues

Lyrics

Every night I kiss somebody new I make believe it's you

I got my foolish pride still loving you

Every night seems like a thousand years

I just can't lose these young boy blues

Wanna cry when I hear your name

If I cry I feel ashamed

I let my pride be my guide

Keep these tears inside

Each night seems like a thousand years

Since I got these young boy blues

Oh, don't know what to say

Don't know what to do

I'm so lost and lonely since I lost you

Young boy blues

Don't know what to say

Don't know what to do

I'm so lost and lonely since I lost you

Every night I kiss somebody new I make believe it's you

I can't kid my aching heart

My heart knows we're still apart

Every night seems like a thousand years

I just can't lose these young boy blues

And I say [?]

Every night seems like a thousand years

Oh, I just can't lose these young boy blues
