When did your boy come back into town? When will your boy stop fooling around? Selling the same old lie to the kids Because none of them know a thing that he did None of them know what he did Everyone knew it would end up this way He rules the streets, so what can you say? Did you really think you could turn him around? When did your boy come back into town? When did your boy come back? Watching disaster, can't turn away
In life and love he is lost in the fray When he is erased he starts the masquerade As he tries to convince you he has got it made Tries to convince you he is made Maybe today-tonight today-tonight yer boy Maybe in the end you will make it right ol' boy Maybe today-tonight today-tonight your boy Can we go back to when we were tight ol' boy? Can we ever go back?
