young boy blues

ben e. king

every time i kiss somebody new

i

make believe i'm kissing you but

i can't kid my aching heart 'cause

my heart know we're still apart and

each night is like a thousand years

i can't lose these young boy blues

i wanna cry when i hear your name

but

if i cry

i feel ashamed

so

i let my pride be my guide and then

i keep those tears inside

so

each night is like a thousand years

since i lost these young boy blues

don't know where to go

don't know what to do

i'm so lonesome and lonely

since i lost you

every time i kiss somebody new

i

make believe i'm kissing you but

i can't kid my aching heart 'cause

my heart know we're still apart and

each night is like a thousand years

i can't lose these young boy blues

each night is like a thousand years

i can't lose these young boy blues

each night is like a thousand years
