Let's Hear It for the Boy
Ben Liebrand Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My baby he don't talk sweet,
He ain't got much to say
But he loves me loves me loves me,
I know that he loves me anyway

And maybe he don't dress fine,
But I don't really mind
'Cause every time he pulls me near,
I just want to cheer

Let's hear it for the boy
Let's give the boy a hand
Let's hear it for my baby,
You know you gotta understand
Oh, maybe he's no Romeo,
But he's my lovin' one man show
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Let's hear it for the boy

My baby may not be rich,
He's watchin' every dime
But he loves me loves me loves me,
We always have a real good time

And maybe he sings off key,
But that's alright by me, yeah
'Cause what he does he does so well,
Makes me wanna yell

Let's hear it for the boy
Oh, let's give the boy a hand
Let's hear it for my baby,
You know you gotta understand
Oh, maybe he's no Romeo,
But he's my lovin' one man show
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Let's hear it for the boy

'Cause every time he pulls me near,
I just want to cheer

Let's hear it for the boy
Oh, let's give the boy a hand
Let's hear it for my baby,
You know you gotta understand
Oh, maybe he's no Romeo,
But he's my lovin' one man show
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Let's hear it for the boy

(Let's hear it for the boy)
Let's hear it for my man
(Let's hear it for my babe)
Let's hear it my man
(Let's hear it for the boy)
(Let's hear it for my babe)
(Let's hear it for the boy)

Let's hear it for my man
(Let's hear it for my babe)
(Let's hear it for the boy)
Pull yourself together
(Let's hear it for my babe)
(Let's hear it for the boy)

Whoa let's hear it for my boy
(Let's hear it for my babe)




Let's hear it for my man
(Let's hear it for the boy) (Let's hear it for my babe) Let's it for my man
