he is one sad boy

but he would`nt shed a tear

he is one sad boy

with a conviction

he is one sad boy

which is obvious to me

for he claims to be happy

with a vengeance



and from all the girls in his world

he had to love the one

that pokes him in the eye

whenever his liveliness is souldeep

and his smile comes from within

and starts caressing her distressing boring self

with an idea

he`s one sad boy

busy proving differently

as he claims to be happy

with a vengeance



he is swimming in her pool of self-conceit

swimming round in circles

while the water`s getting turbid

swimming round in circles

when she`s gone



he is one sad boy

though he never sheds a tear

he is one sad boy

with a conviction

he is one sad boy

which is obvious to me

for he claims to be happy

with a vengeance



and from all the souls in his world he tries

to win the heart of those who just

could`nt give a damn

unless pretending to

would come in handy

when times are rough and roads are sandy

for jealousy is their

driving motion



he is swimming in their pool of self-conceit

swimming round in circles

while the water`s getting turbid

swimming round in circles

when they `re gone
