Mad About The Boy
Easy Virtue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I know it's stupid to be mad about the boy
I'm so ashamed of it but must admit the sleepless nights I've had
About the boy
Oh, on the silver screen
He melts my foolish heart in every single scene
Although I'm quite aware that here and there are traces of the cad
Lord knows I'm not a fool girl
I really shouldn't care
Lord knows I'm not a school girl
Who's in the fury of her first affair
Will it ever cloy?
This odd diversity of misery and joy
I'm feeling quite insane and young again
And all because I'm mad about the boy
I'm feeling quite insane and young again
And all because I'm mad about the boy

Line by Line Meaning
I'm mad about the boy
I am infatuated with this particular young man
And I know it's stupid to be mad about the boy
I understand that the love I feel is irrational and foolish
I'm so ashamed of it but must admit the sleepless nights I've had
I feel embarrassed and uncomfortable with my feelings, but they are causing me to lose sleep
Oh, on the silver screen
In movies and on TV
He melts my foolish heart in every single scene
I am completely smitten with him when I see him act
Although I'm quite aware that here and there are traces of the cad
I am aware that he may not be the perfect person I imagine him to be and has flaws
Lord knows I'm not a fool girl
I am not a naive or foolish young woman
I really shouldn't care
I logically know that I should not care about him
Lord knows I'm not a school girl
I am past the age where I should be so infatuated with a young man
Who's in the fury of her first affair
I am not experiencing my first romance, and should not be acting like it
Will it ever cloy?
Will my feelings ever lessen?
This odd diversity of misery and joy
I am experiencing both positive and negative emotions, and this mix is strange and perplexing
I'm feeling quite insane and young again
My strong emotions are overwhelming me and making me feel young and irrational
And all because I'm mad about the boy
All of my inner turmoil is caused by this infatuation I have with this young man.

Now I learn that one of the most beautiful women in the world can also sing like this??? She's the total package!
@videomannengismo5355
everyne can sing if they have million and trillions of money to pay for a music cotch.
@austenhead5303
@@videomannengismo5355You still have to do the learning and the practising, and you still have to have a decent voice and a decent ear to begin with, so definitely not "anyone".
But yes, you are correct in less absolute terms - privilege helps a LOT. Just having time to practise is a luxury. One I for example rarely have. I'm typing this on my work commute, and I doubt the other passengers would be happy with me if I practised my "Mad About the Boy" on the train. I certainly can't do it at work, and I don't have much time or privacy at home. So. Yeah. Privilege certainly helps.
@videomannengismo5355
@@austenhead5303 hehe. Good to hear your not killing you co-workers with your practice. I believe absolute everyone with a voice can sing good. Even Johnny cash said so. Like me I am tone deaf. But still I manage to learn how to sing a pretty hard song for my exame back in the days.
And I am NOT a good singer. I just practice a lot before and found a technic. To see this celebrites get so much love for not doing anything is beond me. But everyone is right for their opinion.
