Hey Boy
Magic Kids Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey boy
Where's your girlfriend?
She needs your attention
Hey boy
Where's your little girl tonight?

My steady girl
Don't always say
That she's in love with me
But I can feel it in the way
She gives me hugs
And kisses too
And I get so many
I don't need any from you

Is she tellin' lies?
No, no, she wouldn't do that
What about those guys?
No, no, no, no, they're just her friends
And besides, I'm cooler than them

Is she tellin' lies?
No, no, she wouldn't do that
What about those guys?
No, no, no, no, they're just her friends
And besides, I'm cooler than them

Moon, peek through her blinds
I'm only trying to see if she dreams of me at night
Diamonds and pearls
For my steady girl
I'm gonna give her all my time
Oh, wedding bells will chime
I'll forever do my best
To be her steady guy





Hey boy
Where's your girlfriend?

Weeds always have songs that fit the topic. Good music advisor person.

@jaguarnero

Wow, surprisingly reminiscent of Doo-wop and classic rock and roll of the '60s - look out for this creative force!
