Only a Boy (2008 Remaster)

Only a Boy (2008 Remaster) - Rod Stewart

Single file in the girls corridor

Come along Stewart laddie

Stewart boy you'll never be much

'Cause you're 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 I'd only get myself out of bed

Words of wisdom but I wasn't list'ning

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

Rock'n' 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 made

And ev'ry Friday night I'd fall in love

Football fields and teenage pills

Nothing's 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 only a boy

Climb down off the school roof laddie

Oh 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 stumbling

That goes hand in hand with change

The yearning the earning was it all part of learning

Or am I still the same

Only a boy

Laughing aloud

Quick as a shot

Nobody can stop

Only a boy

Plans of his own

Leaving his home

Knows where he's going

Only a boy

Only a boy

Only a boy

Only a boy ha ha oh
