Lover Boy

Mika · The Boy Who Knew too Much [2009]

Isn't it enough, isn't it enough just to feel wild and free?

Caught up in the rough, caught up in the rush of life, staring at me



You think you're in love, boy

But you don't even know what love is

You think you're in love, girl

But honey let me show you where your heart is



Lover boy is just illusion to me

You could take any boy, I'd show you what you would feel

A pretty boy with a nasty trace

A funny boy with an ugly face

Love is just a cautionary, momentary, reactionary

Love is just a cautionary, momentary, reactionary



Isn't it enough, isn't it enough just to sunny and dumb?

I'm too tired of hooking up, sick of breaking up

Oh, you fool you did it for fun



You think you're in love, girl

But you don't even know what love is

You think you're in love, boy

But honey let me show you where your heart is



Lover boy is just illusion to me

You could take any boy, I'd show you what you would feel

A pretty boy with a nasty trace

A funny boy with an ugly face

Love is just a cautionary, momentary, reactionary



Lover boy is just illusion to me

You could take any boy, I'd show you what you would feel

A pretty boy with a nasty trace

A funny boy with an ugly face

Love is just a cautionary, momentary, reactionary

Love is just a cautionary, momentary, reactionary



Lover boy is just illusion to me

You could take any boy, I'd show you what you would feel

A pretty boy with a nasty trace

A funny boy with an ugly face

Love is just a cautionary, momentary, reactionary

Love is just a cautionary, momentary, reactionary



Love is just a cautionary, momentary, reactionary
