Sad Boy Lyrics

I don't want much accept me for what I am
Can't you look me in the eye and tell me you'll be my friend
And it never really came the respect that he sought
Part of him knew that it just can't be bought

Now he's a sad boy
Bad boy, don't let them make you mad boy
Just a sad boy
Here it comes again

"You're just not our kind" her mama constantly cried
"We won't let our baby fall victim to a lie"
I hope you don't mistake what I say
You know some of my best friends feel the same way

Now he's a sad boy
Bad boy, don't let them make you mad boy
Just a sad boy
Here it comes again

So help me
If it's the last thing I ever do
So help me
I've got to make up my mind about you

I don't want much accept me for what I am
Can't you look me in the eye and tell me you'll be my friend
And it never really came the respect that he sought
Part of him knew that it just can't be bought

Now he's a sad boy
Bad boy, don't let them make you mad boy
Just a sad boy
Here it comes again

Just a sad boy
Here it comes again

Just a sad boy
Here it comes again

Just a sad boy
Here it comes again

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
