Lover Boy Lyrics

Isn’t it enough, isn’t it enough just to be wild and free
Caught up in the rough, caught up in the rush of life staring at me
You think you’re in love boy, but you don't really know what love is
You think you're in love girl, but honey let me show you where your heart is

Loverboy, is just illusion to me
You could take any boy, I'd show you what you would feel
Pretty boy with a nasty trace
Funny boy with an ugly face

Love is just a cautionary, momentary, reactionary lie
Love is just a cautionary, momentary, reactionary lie

Isn’t it enough, isn’t it enough just to be sunny and dumb
Aren't you tired of hookin' up, sick of breaking up
Oh you fool, you did it for fun
You think you’re in love girl, but you don't really know what love is
You think you're in love boy, well honey let me show you where your heart is

Loverboy, is just illusion to me
You could take any boy, I'd show you what you would feel
Pretty boy with a nasty trace
Funny boy with an ugly face

Love is just a cautionary, momentary, reactionary lie

Loverboy, is just illusion to me
You could take any boy, I'd show you what you would feel
Pretty boy with a nasty trace
Funny boy with an ugly face

Love is just a cautionary, momentary, reactionary lie
Love is just a cautionary, momentary, reactionary lie

Loverboy, is just illusion to me
You could take any boy, I'd show you what you would feel
Pretty boy with a nasty trace
Funny boy with an ugly face

Love is just a cautionary, momentary, reactionary lie
Love is just a cautionary, momentary, reactionary lie

Love is just a cautionary, momentary, reactionary lie

It's not all that bad. Sarah-Stagedive is my old account, but my email address on it got shut down and I forgot the password.

Anyway, it's kind of catchy.

I've been listening to this song for the last 15 minutes. This song is strangely fascinating to me, and I have no idea why.

BTW, Those lyrics are way messed up. Is there any way to correct them?

I LOVE this song. There's a new version as a bonus track on The Boy Who Knew Too Much, and it's SO much better than the demo...I don't know why it wasn't put on the actual album.

I think this song is about the turbulence of being in love when you're young. Always falling in and out of love, but not really knowing what it is. And the chorus - I love the chorus - talks about how "love" or your infatuation/idea of "love" tricks you into feeling a certain way, but it's more like a reaction than anything. It's like "wow, he has nice eyes, and he's smart, and tall - I love him <3" but it's not real love, it's more like a reaction of attraction to someone who has these qualities that you like. Doesn't mean it's love.

This is my favourite track off his new album. I love the whole CD but this song made me buy the album. Love Mika. <3

I can't help but hear 'you could do any boy'. I'm not sure though. Anyone else hears that?
