Robbie Williams - Be a Boy lyrics

When you're young You hope to be Menacing, in vanity Six feet tall Maybe more Bigger now, than before They said it was leaving me The magic was leaving me I don't think so I don't think so They said it was leaving They said it with joy Now I can make this last forever And be a boy And be a boy When you're young You hope to see Them carve your name Into the street And bounce your words Of satellites That keep the wasted up tonight They said it was leaving me The magic was leaving me I don't think so I don't think so They said it was leaving They said it with joy Now I can make this last forever And be a boy And be a boy There's safety in a jungle If you treat it like a toy Make sure you talk to strangers And be a boy And be a boy And be a boy They said it was leaving me The magic was leaving me I don't think so I don't think so All the boys that could have been someone Your time did come but now it's gone It takes a big man to be someone All the boys that could have been someone Your time did come but now it's gone Your time did come but now it's gone It takes a big man to be someone I'm half your age and lived twice your life And I own the streets you walk tonight The time did come but it's long gone It takes a big man to be someone I'm half your age and lived twice your life And I don't sleep alone at night The time did come but it's long gone It takes a big man to be someone
