A BOY LIKE ME

DADDY'S TEARS AND MOMMA'S FEARS
BABY'S GROW UP AND GO AWAY
THERE'S A WOLF AT THE DOOR
IT MEANS SO MUCH MORE
SINCE I'VE TO PRAY
SEE DADDY WHEN I GROW UP
I WANNA MARRY A MAN LIKE YOU
I’M GLAD I’M A HERO IN YOUR EYES
BUT IF SHE ONLY KNEW

I PRAY YOU NEVER MEET A BOY LIKE ME
WITH YOUR OUT ON THE TOWN
WHEN I WAS A YOUNG MAN ACTING TOUGH
RUNNING ROUND AND ROUND
I USED TO LOVE AND LET THEM BLUE
OH WHAT A FOOL I USED TO BE
WHENEVER I LAY YOU DOWN TO SLEEP
I PRAY YOU NEVER MEET A BOY LIKE ME

A TEENAGE SCHOOL DANCE A LONG WHITE DRESS
SHE’S PRETTY AS PICTURE TO ME
FIRST DAY HE'S LATE SHE ALL UPSET
IS THAT HOW IT'S SUPPOSE TO BE
I SAID DADDY WHY I CAN'T I FIND A MAN
SOMEONE WHO WILL LOVE ME LIKE YOU DO
THAT WILL ALL COME IN TIME BABY GIRL
BUT IF YOU ONLY KNEW

I PRAY YOU NEVER MEET A BOY LIKE ME
WITH YOUR OUT ON THE TOWN
WHEN I WAS A YOUNG MAN ACTING TOUGH
RUNNING ROUND AND ROUND
I USED TO LOVE AND LET THEM BLUE
OH WHAT A FOOL I USED TO BE
WHENEVER I LAY YOU DOWN TO SLEEP
I PRAY YOU NEVER MEET A BOY LIKE ME

OUR YESTERDAYS ARE OVER
OUR TOMORROWS ARE ALL BRAND NEW
IF YOU EVER NEED ME
I WILL BE THERE FOR YOU

I PRAY YOU NEVER MEET A BOY LIKE ME
WHEN YOUR OUT ON THE TOWN
WHEN I WAS A YOUNG MAN ACTING TOUGH
RUNNING ROUND AND ROUND
I USED TO LOVE AND LET THEM BLUE
OH WHAT A FOOL I USED TO BE
WHENEVER I LAY YOU DOWN TO SLEEP
I PRAY YOU NEVER MEET A BOY
I PRAY YOU NEVER MEET A BOY
I PRAY YOU NEVER MEET A BOY
YOU NEVER MEET A BOY LIKE ME
