I took up my life with a strange-eyed boy
And he got what I need what I need
And it’s something peculiar.
He ain’t nothin’ like I was brought up to want
But I want him for me
Just for me.
And sometimes life’ll fool ya
Sometimes cruel yeah.
But hallelujah for me
The boy with the green eyes
Well I got the time time time
For anything he’d like
You know that it’s true
And I’ve never seen eyes
That burn into mine mine mine
The boy with the green eyes.
You know he gets through.
I walk down the street that I walked down before
But it don’t look the same not the same.
And I know the reason
I picked up my head and I saw him one day
And the world turned around upside down
You know he’s turnin’ me on
Young girl neon.
Look what he’s gone and done
The boy with the green eyes.
Well I got the time time time
For anything he’d like
You know that it’s true
And I’ve never seen eyes
That burn into mine mine mine
The boy with the green eyes.
You know he gets through.
