I'm not a boy I'm a big fat balloon Flapping in the wind Floating over the treetops On a broken string I've never been tied down To anything Because I'm free I suppose I can go Where I want to go I drift carelessly on a summer breeze I bounce above the trees I try to be cheerful But I can feel myself deflating all the time Up in the sky Because I'm a balloon On a broken string I'm not attached to anyone or anything anymore Oh oh oh shooby doo tra la la I'm sad and alone But you'd never know it to look at me I look ever so happy up here by myself But I wish sometimes I looked the way I felt Because I'm a balloon On a broken string I don't belong to anyone or anything anymore Anymore I'm a balloon on a broken string I'm not attached to anyone or anything I'm a balloon on a broken string I don't belong to anyone or anything And I know I look shiny and bouncy But I'm all empty inside And I worry That if I was to just burst suddenly Then nobody would even notice me I know I look shiny and bouncy But I'm all empty inside And I worry That if I was to just burst suddenly Then nobody would even notice me I know I look shiny and bouncy But I'm all empty inside And I worry That if I was to just burst suddenly Then nobody would even notice me I know I look shiny and bouncy But I'm all empty inside And I won't even And if I was to just burst suddenly Then nobody would even notice me
