I took up my life with a strange-eyed boy And he got what I need And it's something peculiar He ain't nothing like I was brought up to want But I want him for me, Just for me and sometimes life I'll fool ya Sometimes cruel, yeah But hallelujah for me The boy with green eyes Well I got time, time, time for anything He'd like, you know it's true And I never seen eyes That burn into mine, mine, mine The boy with green eyes You know he gets through I walk down the street That I walked down before But it don't look the same Not the same and I know the reason I picked up my head And I saw him one day And the world turned around upside down You know he's turning me on, Young girl neon Look what he's gone and done They boy with green eyes Well I got time, time, time For anything he'd like, you know it's true And I never seen eyes That burn into mine, mine, mine The boy with green eyes You know he get through The boy with green eyes The boy with green eyes
