π΅ Letβs sing along with the lyrics! π€
I want a boy
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I want a boy
I want a boy
A boy all my own
I’m tired of being
So all alone
Someone who loves
Loving me
Someone who cares
Cares just for me
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I want a boy
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I want a boy
When he comes my way Iβll never let him go
I will take him in my arms and love him so
I will tell him all the things he wants to know
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I want a boy
To have and to hold
I’m tired of waiting
Out in the cold
Someone who loves
Loving me
Someone who cares
Cares just for me
I want a boy
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I want that boy
