When You're A Boy

Susanna Hoffs When You're A Boy Lyrics
1.My Side Of The Bed

Written:Susanna Hoffs/Tom Kelly/Billy Steinberg

I want to show you the picture I drew
When I was on the phone talking to you
I made a heart and I colored it red
'Cause I want you here
On my side of the bed.

Oh woe, oh woe
Oh woe, oh woe.

I've been dreaming since I was born
And in my dreams I see eyes like yours
I'll be the pillow where you lay your head, lay your head
If you'll come and sleep
On my side of the bed.

Lay down
The sheets are white like the moon, my love
Dream with me in my room
Lay down.

Lay down
The sheets are white like the moon, my love
Dream with me in my room
Lay down.

I know you hurt, I feel the pain
Take my hand and come out of the rain
We all need to be comforted
You can get yours
On my side of the bed.

On my side of the bed.

Lay down on my side of the bed
Come lay down.

Tra-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la
Lay down (ooh ooh ooh ooh) lay down
Sha-la-la-la-la (I made a heart)
Sha-la-la-la-la (I colored it red)
Lay down (I colored it red) lay down.

Sha-la-la-la-la (lay down)
Sha-la-la-la-la (lay down)
Lay down (ooh ooh ooh ooh) lay down
Sha-la-la-la-la (oooh)
Sha-la-la-la-la (oooh)
Lay down (ooh ooh ooooh) lay down.

Sha-la-la-la-la (I made a heart)
Sha-la-la-la-la (I colored it red)
Lay down (I colored it red) lay down
Sha-la-la-la-la (lay down)
Sha-la-la-la-la (lay down)
Lay down, lay down (on my side of the bed).


2.No Kind Of Love

Written:Susanna Hoffs/David Kahne/Scott Cutler/Rhonna Ric

Never thought I'd feel this way
You swore your love on all our mothers
But that was only yesterday
Now here's that pain in all those colors.

You step right up, you sound so sweet
You make a promise you can't keep.

No kind of love
No kind of anything that I really need
I'd give up all my heart
If there was somebody there for me
(Somebody there for me).

I never thought you'd feel this way
To act like I was born to suffer
What was that you tried to say
You take a girl and try to love her.

You step right up, you act so clean
I'm just a voice on your machine.

No kind of love
No kind of anything that I really need
I'd give up all my heart
If there was somebody there for me
(Somebody there for me).

Sometimes I really need you
(And I find) you've gone and left me far behind
I'm trying to believe you
(Or to leave you) but you never have the time.

No kind of love
No kind of anything that I really need
I'd give up all my heart
If there was somebody there for me.

I'd give you all my heart
If you was somebody there for me.


3.Wishing On Telstar

Lyrics:Robin Lane/Jimmy Cipolla
Music:Robin Lane/Jimmy Cipolla

I had a lover, but haven't we all
He had to leave so sometimes I'd call
I was lost and living in the real world
I'd call.

Satellites are blinking all through the night
Wishes like this don't seem right
Rising and falling as I make my request
Hello, operator, can I make this collect.

Higher and higher, burns the fire
Love's lost on the telephone wire
Too high to reach, too hot to hold
Wishing on telstar, should've been told.

Person to person, looking for affection
Do I just break through or do I have to wait
(Person to person) it sure hurts when you get away
My long distance lover, can I make you stay.

Higher and higher, burns the fire
Love's lost on the telephone wire
Too high to reach, too hot to hold
Wishing on telstar, should've been told.

Hello? Operator?
Hello, hello. Operator?
Hello, hello? Hello, hello?

Wishing on telstar
Should've been, should've been
Wishing on telstar
Should've been told.

Higher and higher, burns the fire
Love's lost on the telephone wire
Too high to reach, too hot to hold
Wishing on telstar, should've been told.

Wishing on telstar (hello, operator?)
Should've been told (hello, hello, operator?)
Wishing on, wishing on telstar (operator?)
Should've been told
Wishing on telstar.

Hello? Operator?
Hello?


4.That's Why Girls Cry

Written:David Kahne/Juliana Hatfield/Susanna Hoffs

Oh, I'm lonely
But I only seem to need him when he's not around
Cause he comes up
At the same time that I go down.

Then I give him what he needs
And then he pours it all over me
Everybody, everywhere wants something
What could it be?

That's why (that's why) girls cry
That's why (that's why, that's why) girls cry.

Cause the summer
Brings heat and the winter comes and takes it away
Cause I came to work
But the boy only came to play.

Then he gives me what I need
And then I tell him, 'Get over me'
Everybody, everywhere wants someone
Who could it be?

That's why (that's why) girls cry
That's why (that's why, that's why) girls cry.

I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna talk about it
Talk and talk and talk and talkin', ooh
Oooh-waa, oooh-waa, oooh-waa
Talk and talk and talk and talkin', ooh
Oooh-waa, oooh-waa, oooh-waa.

Why bite the hand that needs you
Why break the heart that bleeds you
Why give my hand, I don't understand
Why lose a love that almost leads you?

There's a line in a dream
Where the ocean always meets the sky
If I think real fast
I can make it by the end of the night.

Why can't I live my love that way
So perfect in every way
I can't stop this feeling
What could it be?

That's why (that's why, that's why) girls cry
I don't wanna talk about it
That's why (that's why, that's why) girls cry
I don't wanna talk about it.

That's why (that's why, that's why) girls cry
I don't wanna talk about it
That's why (that's why, that's why) girls cry
I don't wanna talk about it.

I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna talk about it.


5.Unconditional Love

Written:Cyndi Lauper/Tom Kelly/Billy Steinberg

I wanna fall into you
And I wanna be everything you want me to
But I'm not sure I know how
I lose faith and I lose ground.

When I see you I remember, oh
Unconditional love
(Love, love, love).

It doesn't matter what I say
'Cause it always seems you're taking me the wrong way
But if you could read my mind
You'd see, I fight myself all the time.

When I see you I surrender, oh
Unconditional love
(Love) love (love) oh-woe (love)
(Love) love (love) oh-oh (love).

Standing on a wilder shore
I got my head up in the clouds
Oh, I ain't got no sense of direction now.

I wanna lie next to you
And I wanna do everything you want me to
But I'm not sure I know how
Put your arms around me now.

When I feel you I surrender, oh
Unconditional love
(love, love, love)
Oh (love, love, love).

Put your arms around me now
'Cause when I feel you I surrender
Unconditional love
(Love) unconditioned love, hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo (love).

When I see you I remember
Unconditional love
(Love) all you need is (love) what the world needs (love)
Now the word is love (love) love (love) hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
(love).

Ahaa, ahhaaa, haa.


6.Something New

Written:J.Hanes/C.Sheldon/D.Kahne/S.Hoffs

You want something new, something sweet
To rinse away the bitterness of another day
Fading away
You want something new, something bright
To lighten up the shadows of your darkest fears
Hovering near.

You get so lonely lately
Lonely and afraid
Maybe nothing really good will come your way
You want something new, something hot
Flames of passion burning all your bridges down
Don't turn around.

I lie awake and watch you toss and turn
I ask, 'What's wrong?', you turn away and say
It's not my concern.

You get so lonely lately
Lonely and afraid
Maybe nothing really good will come your way
You want something new, something new
But there is nothing I can do to make you see
What you mean to me.

Cause you know I love you
And I know that's nothing new
That's nothing new.


7.So Much For Love

Written:J.Janes/P.E.Gates/P.Dunne/H.Hanes

I got a marriage of convenience
I got the true cosmetic love
I got a set of circumstances
That only last as long as either party says it does.

So much for love
So much for love
Just kiss it off the moment
You decide you've had enough
So much for love.

I've got the freedom (so much) lover's commitment (so much)
I got the true contemporary attitude
I got the modern (so much) understanding (so much)
That anyone is free to come and go just as they choose.

So much for love
So much for love
Just kiss it off the moment
You decide you've had it enough
So much for love, huh-huh.

I got a contract to protect my labor
I got it worded so it always works out in my favor
Got no loose ends to untangle
I got a written guarantee that covers every angle.

So much, so much for love
So much for love
So much for love
So much for love.

So much for love (so much)
Don't ask me to try a little tenderness
So much for love (how much)
You won't see any tears on my pillow
So much for love (too much)
I don't care if your aim is true, no no
So much for love
Why do fools fall in love?

So much, so much (in love), so much, so much for
So much, so much (so much for love), so much, so much.


8.This Time

Lyrics:S.Summers
Music:S.Summers

This time I know my baby's gone for good
This time I didn't treat him like I should
This time there's no tomorrow
My heart is filled with sorrow
This time my baby's gone for good.

This time I didn't play my cards too well
I lost my head and broke that magic spell
This time he's really leavin'
My heart just can't believe it
This time my baby's gone for good.

This time my baby told me
This time there's no next time
This time my heart's run out of time.

Next time I find the love I won't be cruel
I'll never break his heart or make him blue
Next time there'll be no cryin'
Till then, inside I'm dyin'
This time my baby's gone for good.

This time my baby's gone for good
This time my baby's gone for good.


9.Only Love

Written:Susanna Hoffs/Diane Warren

You say that you can't take it anymore
Someone hurt you and so you close the door
Put the lock on your heart and hide the key
Gonna build yourself a wall of stone
Gonna live there inside it all alone
And you say love's the last thing that you need.

But every drop of rain that falls
Makes a flower grow
Don't give up now, don't give up now
Baby, don't you know.

Only love - can leave you twisted inside
Only love - can make you glad you're alive
Only love (hey hey hey) can mend a heart or break it
Only love - can make the tears tumble down
Only love - can turn your whole world around
Only love (hey hey hey) only love, hey hey hey.

So you sacrifice your trusting soul
So you can maintain complete control
When you're cold as ice you can't get burned
There's a chance you'll break each time you fall
But when you lose your faith, you lose it all
And it's gonna get lonely in your world.

But every drop of rain that falls
Makes a flower grow
Don't give up now, don't give up now
Baby, don't you know.

Only love - can leave you twisted inside
Only love - can make you glad you're alive
Only love (hey hey hey) can mend a heart or break it
Only love - you can't keep running away
Only love - you're gonna need it someday
Only love (hey hey hey) don't you know that's what we're here
for.

And every drop of rain that falls
Makes a flower grow
Don't give up now, don't give up now
Baby, baby, don't you know.

Only love - can leave you twisted inside
Only love - can make you glad you're alive
Only love (hey hey hey) only love
Only love - can make the tears tumble down
Only love - can turn your whole world around
Only love (only love) hey hey hey
Can mend your heart (only love) or break it.

Only love - can leave you twisted inside
Only love - can make you glad you're alive
Only love (hey hey hey) can mend a heart or break it
Only love (only love) only love
Only love (hey hey hey) can mend a heart or break it
(Only love) only love.


10.It's Lonely Out Here

Written:Susanna Hoffs/Tom Kelly/Billy Steinberg

Ten million people in this city
And from the air it looks so (pretty) pretty
When I get down on the ground
You won't be around
It's lonely out here (it's lonely out here)
It's lonely out here.

Ten million headlights on this highway
So you go your way and I'll go my way
Now I'm down on the ground
I won't hear a sound
It's lonely out here (it's lonely out here)
It's lonely out here.

Santa Anas bending the palms
The sun is shining on the green, green lawns
I'm stuck outside a postcard, I can't find home
Right now I'm breathing pretty hard (pretty hard)
Running for my life on Sunset Boulevard.

Ten million people in this city
And from the air it looks so (pretty) pretty
When I get down on the ground
You won't be around
It's lonely out here (it's lonely out here)
It's lonely out here.

Oh, I can't see you
No no, I can't hear you
Oh, where are you
I can't see you.


11.Made Of Stone

Written:J.Condos/David Kahne/Susanna Hoffs

I know you know
But you don't talk
You let it all go by
You won't kiss so
You won't get hurt
Here on the other side.

You turn away and won't look
Like you'd rather be alone
I bet you wish that you were made of stone
(Made of stone, made of stone)
I bet you wish that you were made of stone.

I will, you won't
Cause you don't try
I wonder what you see
Looking out
Your window dreamin'
Dreamin' what could be.

It's hard to find a soul here
In this crowd of skin and bones
I bet you wish that you were made of stone
(Made of stone, made of stone)
I bet you wish that you were made of stone.

I'm something to believe in
Let me take you far away
Never stop your dreamin'
Cause dreams are what the world is made of.

Someday you're gonna wake up
And you won't be there alone
And you won't wish that you were made of stone
(Made of stone, made of stone)
You'll never wish that you were made of
Never never wish that you were made of
You'll never wish that you were made of stone.

Bye bye.


12.Boys Keep Swinging

Lyrics:David Bowie/Brian Eno
Music:David Bowie/Brian Eno

Heaven loves ya
The clouds smile for ya
Nothing stands in your way
When you're a boy
Clothes always fit ya
Life is the pop of a cherry
When you're a boy.

(When you're a boy)
You can wear a uniform
(When you're a boy)
Other boys check you out
(You get a girl)
These are your favorite things
When you're a boy.

Boys...
Boys...
Boys...
Boys keep swinging
Boys always work it out.

Unpage the colors
Unfurl the flag
Love just kissed you hello
When you're a boy
They'll never clone ya
You're always first on the line
When you're a boy.

(When you're a boy)
You can buy a home of your own
(When you're a boy)
Learn to drive and everything
(You get a girl)
You'll get your share
When you're a boy.

Boys...
Boys...
Boys...
Boys keep swinging
Boys always work it out.

Boys...(boys)
Boys...(boys)
Boys...(oh, boys)
Boys...(boys)
Boys keep swinging, boys keep swinging
Boys keep swinging, boys always work it out.

Heaven loves ya
The clouds smile for ya
Nothing stands in your way
When you're a boy
Girls like to kiss ya
Life is the pop of a cherry
When you're a boy.

Heaven loves ya
The clouds smile for ya
Nothing stands in your way
Clothes always fit ya
Life is the pop of a cherry
When you're a boy.

When you're a boy
When you're a boy
When you're a boy.

When you're a boy (boys keep swinging, boys keep swinging)
When you're a boy (boys keep swinging, boys keep swinging)
When you're a boy (boys keep swinging, boys keep swinging)
When you're a boy (boys keep swinging, boys keep swinging).

When you're a boy (boys keep swinging, boys keep swinging)
When you're a boy (boys keep swinging, boys keep swinging)
When you're a boy (boys keep swinging, boys keep swinging)
When you're a boy (boys keep swinging, boys keep swinging).

When you're a boy (boys keep swinging, boys keep swinging)
When you're a boy (boys keep swinging, boys keep swinging)
When you're a boy (boys keep swinging, boys keep swinging)
When you're a boy (boys keep swinging, boys keep swinging).
