Elaine Paige - Mad About The Boy lyrics

I met him at a party just a couple of years ago He was rather over hearty and ridiculous But as I'd seen him on the screen He cast a certain spell I basked in his attraction for a couple of hours or so His manners were a fraction too meticulous If he was real or not I couldn't tell But like a silly fool I fell Mad about the boy I know it's stupid to be mad about the boy I'm so ashamed of it but must admit The sleepless nights I've had about the boy On the silver screen He melts my foolish heart in every single scene Although I'm quite aware that here and there Are traces of the cad about the boy Lord knows I'm not a fool girl I really shouldn't care Lord knows I'm not a schoolgirl In the flurry of her first affair Will it ever cloy, this odd diversity of misery and joy? I'm feeling quite insane and young again And all because I'm mad about the boy Mad about the boy I know I'm potty but I'm mad about the boy He sets me heart on fire with love's desire In fact I've got it bad about the boy When I do the rooms I see 'is face in all the brushes and the brooms Last week I strained me back, and got the sack And had a row with dad about the boy I'm finished with Navaro I'm tired of Richard Dix I'm pierced with cupid's arrow Every Wednesday from four till six 'Ow I should enjoy To let 'im treat me as a plaything or a toy I'd give my all to him and crawl to him So 'elp me gawd I'm mad about the boy Mad about the boy It's pretty funny but I'm mad about the boy He has an odd appeal that makes me feel There may be something sad about the boy Walking down the street His eyes look out at me from people that I meet I can't believe it's true but when I'm blue In some strange way I'm glad about the boy I'm hardly sentimental Love isn't so sublime I have to pay my rental And I can't afford to waste much time If I could employ A little magic that would finally destroy This dream that pains me and enchains me But I can't because I'm mad about the boy I'm mad about the boy I'm mad about the boy I'm mad about the boy
