Young Boy Blues by Ben E. King

Every time I kiss somebody new I
Make believe, I'm kissing you but, oh
I can't kid my aching heart 'cause
My heart knows we're still apart and

Each night is like a thousand years
Oh, since I got these young boy blues

I wanna cry when I hear your name
If I cry I feel ashamed so
I let my pride be my guide
I keep those tears inside and

Each night is like a thousand years
Oh, I can't lose these young boy blues

Oh, don't know where to go
Don't know what to do
I'm so lost and lonely
Since I lost you

Every time I kiss somebody new I
Oh, make believe I'm kissing you but, oh
I can't kid my aching heart 'cause
My heart knows we're still apart and

Each night is like a thousand years
Oh-oh since I got these young boy blues

Oh, and now I don't know where to go
Don't know what to do
I'm so lost and lonely
Since I lost you

Every time I kiss somebody new
Oh make believe I'm kissing you but, oh
I can't kid my aching heart 'cause
My heart knows we're still apart and

Each night is like a thousand years
Oh, I can't lose these young boy blues

Oh, each night is like a thousand years
Oh, since I got these young boy blues

Yeah oh, each night is like a thousand years
Oh, I can't lose these young boy blues
My now oh
