This Boy

The Beatles

That boy took my love away

He'll regret it someday-i-ay

But this boy wants you back again

That boy isn't good for you

Though he may want you too

This boy wants you back again

Oh, and this boy would be happy

Just to love you, buy oh my-yi-yi

That boy won't be happy

Till he's seen you cry-hi-hi

This boy wouldn't mind the pain

Would always feel the same

If this boy gets you back again

This boy, this boy, this boy
