Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mad about the boy
It's pretty funny but I'm mad about the boy
He has a gay appeal that makes me feel
There may be something sad about the boy
[Verse 2]
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
I'm hardly sentimental
Love isn't so sublime
I've got to pay my rental
And I can't afford to waste my time
If I could employ
Some kind of magic that would finally destroy this love
That pains me and enchains me but I can't
Because I'm mad about the boy
Mad
It's pretty funny but I'm mad
[Verse 3]
He has a gay appeal that makes me feel
There may be something sad
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've got to pay my rental
And I can't afford to waste my time
[Verse 4]
If I could employ
Some kind of magic that would finally destroy this love
That pains me and enchains me but I can't
Because I'm mad about the boy
