Tommy Boy

They said we stood out from the ones they were breeding They said we should hide like a woman who's bleeding But Tommy if I am to hide I'd rather forgo And Tommy 'though I might be grieving It might never show They said we stood out from the ones they were keeping They said we should smile like a woman who's weeping But Tommy if I am to smile I'd rather you know And Tommy 'though I might be leaving I might never go Oh, Tommy boy, does it matter who runs Well, I can't sit still and be quiet at once Oh, Tommy boy, have I led you astray But I can't be living this way They said we stood out from the ones that have reasoned They said we should run like a woman imprisoned But Tommy if I am to run We rather estrange And Tommy, I might be another I might never change Oh, Tommy boy, if we're one and the same Why wouldn't I dare to hold on to my name Oh, Tommy boy, have I led you astray Well, I can't be living this way Oh, Tommy boy, have I thought you had known I'm rather a woman alone
