BOY
Timmy Cruz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Di ako makatulog
Parang tukso tanging laman ng isip
Wala kundi ikaw
Bakit ganito
I can't get over you
Kahit sarili ko'y ayaw maniwala
I love you boy
If you only knew
Naiinis na ako sa iyo
Sobrang manhid ka at 'di mo napapansin
I love you boy
Kung alam mo lang
Ang puso ko ay nagdaramdam
Hanggang kailan ba ako ay maghihintay
My foolish heart
Ikaw ang may kasalanan
Kung ikaw ba'y tumahimik na lamang
Ako'y 'di naguguluhan
Oh sayang lang
If I were not a woman
Sana'y noon pa ma'y aking nasabing
Ika'y aking mahal
I love you boy
If you only knew
Naiinis na ako sa iyo
Sobrang manhid ka at 'di mo napapansin
I love you boy
Kung alam mo lang
Ang puso ko ay nagdaramdam
Hanggang kailan ba ako ay maghihintay
I'm head over heels babe
I love you so much
I'm going crazy
Oh I love you boy
Kung alam mo lang
Ang puso ko ay nagdaramdam
Hanggang kailan ba ako ay maghihintay
The song "Boy" by Timmy Cruz is about unrequited love and the frustration that comes with it. The opening lines of the song indicate that the singer is struggling to sleep, as thoughts of the person she loves keep her awake. The lyrics suggest that the singer has strong feelings for the person in question, yet they are not reciprocated. She is frustrated by his apparent lack of awareness of her love for him and wishes that he would notice her. The repeated use of the phrase "I love you boy" throughout the song highlights the depth of the singer's emotions.
The lyrics also address the idea that the singer feels that she is waiting for something that may never come. She is unsure how long she can continue to harbour such intense feelings without any indication that they will be returned. The final lines of the song reflect the anguish of being in love with someone who appears to be oblivious to the singer's feelings.
Despite the sadness that pervades the lyrics of the song, the melody is upbeat and almost catchy in nature. This contrast works well, highlighting the internal conflict of the singer as she struggles with her unrequited love.

Oh what a night
I cannot sleep, my mind is consumed with thoughts of you
'Di ako makatulog
I am unable to sleep
Parang tukso tanging laman ng isip
It feels like I am being tempted, you are the only thing on my mind
Wala kundi ikaw
You are the only thing in my mind
Bakit ganito
Why do I feel this way?
I can't get over you
I cannot move on from you
Kahit sarili ko'y ayaw maniwala
Even though I do not want to believe it
Sa nangyaring ito
About what happened between us
I love you boy
I am deeply in love with you
If you only knew
If only you knew how I feel about you
Naiinis na ako sa iyo
I am getting frustrated with you
Sobrang manhid ka at 'di mo napapansin
You are so insensitive that you cannot even notice
Ang puso ko ay nagdaramdam
My heart is in pain
Hanggang kailan ba ako ay maghihintay
Until when will I have to wait?
My foolish heart
My heart is foolish
Ikaw ang may kasalanan
You are at fault
Kung ikaw ba'y tumahimik na lamang
If you just stayed silent
Ako'y 'di naguguluhan
I wouldn't be confused
Oh sayang lang
What a waste
If I were not a woman
If I weren't female
Sana'y noon pa ma'y aking nasabing
I should have told you before
Ika'y aking mahal
That I love you
I'm head over heels babe
I am completely in love with you
I love you so much
I love you very much
I'm going crazy
I am losing my mind
