Stephin Merritt - The Only Boy in Town lyrics

[Verse 1: Stephin Merritt] Oh if only you were the only boy in town For then I could not play the field and let you down I would not go half-mad for each pa**ing lad With eyes of blue, green, gray, or brown No, if only you were the only boy in town [Verse 2] Oh if only you were the only boy in France Our life would not be like one long, long, long seance I think I would endeavor to love you forever Instead of only for the nonce If-if only you were the only boy in France [Verse 3] With the only boy in town With the only available male In the loneliest possible world There would be no daily betrayal [Verse 4] Oh if only you were the only boy alive And I were the queen of our small, small, small beehive Though more pricks than a cactus may always distract us Would they all take up all my s** drive? Not-not-not if you were the only boy alive [Outro] Oh if only you were the only boy in town Oh if only you were the only boy in France
