Boy George Album

You say that you're misunderstood
But you like it that way
Then you say you're lonely
Well that's the price you pay

And I don't think I love you
That's the cruellest game we play
But I love you that way

You're a perfect lover
Why don't you stay?
You're a perfect lover
Ain't it always that way?

You feel a little twisted
You feel a little pain
You feel a little hateful
Don't worry, you'll feel that way again

Cry, don't cry, don't cry for me
Cry, don't cry, don't cry for me

You say that you're not beautiful
But you are in my eyes
You say my love's too heavy
Well that comes as no surprise

You're a perfect lover
Why don't you stay?
You're a perfect lover
Ain't it always that way?

You feel a little twisted
And you feel a little pain
You feel a little hateful
Don't worry, you'll fall in love again

Cry, don't cry, don't cry for me
Cry, don't cry, don't cry for me

It's already over
There's nothing to say
It's already over
But you need love to show you your way

Don't cry for me
Don't you cry
Don't cry, don't cry for me

You're the perfect lover
Why don't you stay?
You're the perfect lover
Ain't it always that way?

You feel a little pain
Don't worry, you'll fall in love again

Cry, don't cry, don't cry for me
Cry, don't cry, don't cry for me

It's great to be young

Didn't anyone tell you
That life was a lousy substitute
You're not packing angels now
In your undertaker's suit
It's funky down in the gutter
That's what all the bitches say
I'll just call it a celebration
If the devil walks my way

You are my heroin
You are my heroin

Welcome into the garden sarah
Come see how my roses die
We were looking for heaven
Couldn't bear to pass you by
There are stories of bad luck, yeah
But they come to bless us all
If it's true that you doubt it
Go ask alice when she's ten feet tall

You are my heroin
You are my heroin
You are my heroin

I was talking to sweet thing
She said hang your horses high
There are jokers and tokers
Here's some pills you ought to try

Some say it's a vacation
Some say I will never die
God won't stop at my station
Hear all the mothers cry

You are my heroin
You are my heroin
You are my heroin

You keep saying kick it, quit it
Lord but did you ever try.
To turn your sick soul inside out
So that the world can watch you die
Home is where I live inside
My home is filled with pain
And it might not be such a bad idea
If I never went home again

You are my heroin
You are my heroin
You are my heroin

There are stories of bad luck, yeah
But they come to bless us all
If it's true that you doubt it
Go ask alice when she's ten feet tall

You are my heroin
You are my heroin
You know that it's true

I go where I go
You don't need to let me know
I go where I go

Baby I know this ain't perfection
But you're good to me sometimes
Holding onto love for those moments
Some would say is a waste of my time

When I hold you up people say I'm sad
Sad and lonely
When you put me down people say I'm sad
But they don't know me

I go where I go
You don't need to let me know
I go where I go
Where I go

People tell me boy, it's foolish
Always got so much to say
Lovers, dreamers, come between us
But we always find our way

If you break my heart I will still be here

Like a broken fool
Told you from the start, pain won't make us part
That's the golden rule

I go where I go
You don't need to let me know
I go where I go
I go where I go

They don't tell us nothing new
We're as bright as day
Live on love, that's what we do
This is what I say

I go where I go
I go where I go
You don't need to tell me so
I go where I go
I go where I go
You don't need to tell me so

I go where I go
You don't need to let me know
I go where I go
You don't need to tell me so

Her mother called her angel
So imagine her surprise
When she walked into the party
With a black boy by her side

She said you don't understand me
I can never win
Sometimes I get angry
I'm the girl with combination skin

Her mother called her angel
So imagine her surprise
When she walked out of the bedroom
With a black boy in her eyes

She said you don't understand me

I can never win
Sometimes I get angry
I'm the girl with combination skin

Her mother called her angel
So imagine her surprise
When she walked into the party
With a black boy by her side

She said you don't understand me
I can never win
Sometimes I get angry
I'm the girl with combination skin

I'm the girl with combination skin
I'm the girl with combination skin

You bet that I cannot resist it
When you move inside my life
Touching souls I feel restricted
And I know that it's not wise
I can tell so much is changing
But I'm blinded by desire
Won't some God come down from heaven
And set me free, set me on fire

Walking alone in the whisper of nightime
Walking alone, no comfort in sight
Walking alone in the whisper of nightime
Too afraid and much too uptight

When you say that it's forever
I believe it every time
But out of reach, that ain't together
I need someone to be mine
I'm just shouting at the devil
And my kind of love is greed
But don't show too much affection
Cause I'm willing, yeah
I'm willing to let you bleed

Walking alone in the whisper of nightime
Walking alone, no comfort in sight
Walking alone in the whisper of nightime
Too afraid to put up a fight

Don't believe that you're invincible
To fall in love
And you know that love won't save you
Cause those kind of feelings
You know they never do
They never do

Walking alone in the whisper of nightime
Walking alone, no comfort in sight
Walking alone in the whisper of nightime
Too afraid and much too uptight

I'm just walking alone
You know I'm just walking

I'm just shouting at the devil
And my kind of love is greed
Don't you show too much affection
Cause I'm willing, I'm willing to let you bleed

Walking alone in the whisper of nightime
Walking alone, no comfort in sight
Walking alone in the whisper of nightime
I'm too afraid to put up a fight

Walking alone in the whisper of nightime
I'm not lonely I'm not afraid
Walking alone in the whisper of nightime
Walking alone...

Oh you slide so good
But just take your time
Drink the blood of fools
I've got to make you mine
Speak in devils tongue
Fake the spoken word
Play with silence now
Well that's what I've heard

I've felt this love I felt this pain
I felt this heartache too

Something strange called love is happening to me
Something strange called love is happening to me

Oh you slide so good
With your bones so fair
You've got the universe
Reclining in your hair
Say my love is good
Say we're not too old
I call you jaguar
If I may be so bold

I've felt this love I felt this pain
I felt this heartache too
I came so close but no one knows
The love I felt for you

Something strange called love is happening to me
Something strange called love is happening to me

They say that we're much too young
To fall in love
Well, what do they know?
They say that our kind of love
Just ain't enough
Well what do they know?

Something strange called love

Oh you slide so good
But just take your time
Drink the blood of fools
I've got to make you mine
Speak in devils tongue
Fake the spoken word
Play with silence now
Well that's what I've heard

I've felt this love I felt this pain
I felt this heartache too
I came so close but no one knows
The love I felt for you

Something strange called love is happening to me
Something strange called love is happening to me (repeat)

Love you, blimey, some men are funny

(I love you
Do you love me?
I love you
Do you love me? )

Take a look at yourself my darling
Don't ya like what you see
Dip your foot in the pool and wonder
Is it colder than me?

Take a look at my arms oh baby
See the wounds of my youth
There were times when I could not take it
Seek the negative truth

I love you
Like the stars love the sky
And they're never lonely
I love you
'cause you're weak, incomplete and
You're never phoney
I love you
Yes I do, yes I do
But you'll never own me

I never said I'd be good in bed

Take a look at me golden hooker
Just you swallow your pride
Take a look at me my good looker
There's a devil inside

Never sleep with your windows open
Never tell them you cry
Never tell them that you feel lonely
Coz they'll spit in your eye

I love you
I used to dream of a stream
But I need an ocean
I love you
Falling head over heels
With the slightest notion
I love you

You can stay for a while
But don't pledge devotion

I never said get inside my head

I love you
I love you I hate you
Don't mean to frustrate you
I love you
I love you I hate you
Don't mean to frustrate you

(do you love me? )

See the queen
And his old reminder
That you've never been cool
Turn your back 'cause
The spite will blind you
It's incredibly cruel

Take a look at the fools around you
See the beggar inside
There were times when I got so holy
Now I wish I had lied

I love you
Like the stars love the sky
And they're never lonely
I love you
'cause you're weak, incomplete and
You're never phoney
I love you
Yes I do, yes I do
But you'll never own me

I love you
I love you
I never said I'd be good in bed
I love you
I love you
I never said get inside my head
I love you
I love you
I used to dream of a stream but I need an ocean
I love you

Those early days who said
Patience never pays?
It's a man's world we're living in
But that don't mean you have to start giving in

When he says, woman, there's a place for you
That don't mean that's what you have to do
There's a gift somebody gave to you
It's called talking and saying out loud

My mama never knew but I do, I do
My mama never knew
Oh she never knew
But I do, yes I do
Oh my mama she never knew
Yes I do

It was late, late in life
When my mama started to fight
She said man, boy what the hell are you
Gonna break up this room with a word or two

If it seems I ain't good enough for you
Then you know just what you have to do
Pack your bags honey, take your life with you
Go on walk out that door I won't say it no more

My mama never knew but I do, I do
My mama never knew
Oh she never knew
But I do, yes I do
Oh my mama she never knew
She never knew
Yes I do


Tied to the cross
Sometimes I feel like an anchor in your life
I'm just a woman
But more than a woman I have in my life
She said, you bring me down
You turn me around
If there's a justice
I want justice in this life

My mama never knew but I do, I do
My mama never knew but I do
Yes I do

Those early days who said
Patience never pays?
It's a man's world we're living in
But that don't mean you have to start giving in

When he says, woman, there's a place for you
That don't mean that's what you have to do
There's a gift somebody gave to you
It's called talking and saying out loud

My mama never knew but I do, I do
My mama never knew
Oh she never knew
But I do, yes I do
Oh my mama she never knew
Yes I do

Just like a woman
She knows everything
