Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Every time I kiss somebody new, I
Make believe I'm kissin' you, but, oh
I can't kid my aching heart, 'cause
My heart knows we're still apart, and
Each night is like a thousand years, oh, whoa, oh
Since I got these young boy blues
[Verse 2]
I wanna cry when I hear your name
If I cry, I feel ashamed, so
I let my pride be my guide
I keep those tears inside, and
Each night is like a thousand years, oh, whoa, oh
I can't lose these young boy blues
[Verse 3]
Oh, oh, don't know where to go
Don't know what to do
I'm so lost and lonely
Since I lost you
[Verse 4]
Every time I kiss somebody new, I
Oh, make believe I'm kissin' you, but, oh
I can't kid my aching heart, 'cause
My heart knows we're still apart, and
Each night is like a thousand years, oh, whoa, oh
Since I've got these young boy blues
[Verse 5]
Oh, oh, and I don't know where to go
Don't know what to do
I'm so lost and lonely
Since I lost you
[Verse 6]
Every time I kiss somebody new, I
I make believe I'm kissin' you, but, oh
I can't kid my aching heart, 'cause
My heart knows we're still apart, and
Each night is like a thousand years, oh, whoa, oh
I can't lose these young boy blues
[Verse 7]
Oh, oh, each night is like a thousand years, oh, whoa, oh
Since I've got these young boy blues
Yeah, uh, ooh
Each night is like a thousand years, oh, whoa, oh
I can't lose these young boy blues
No, no, oh
