Silly Boy Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In the days when I was young I never had to cry
If I wanted a lover I did not have to try
But I must have set my expectations far too high
Guess I'm just a silly boy
I guess I'm just a silly boy
[Verse 2]
There are some things about love that I don't understand
When you promise your heart, you do the best you can
But no matter how I try behaving like a man
Seems I'm just a silly boy
I guess I'm just a silly boy
[Bridge]
This is the last time I'll wait to stand in line
If you don't come see me I'm dropping the boom on you
'Cause when you lose me
Then everyone will see what a silly girl can do
[Verse 3]
Don't you tell me that it's over, don't you make a sound
'Til I get to the river or someplace I can drown
'Cause I put my faith upon you and you let me down
Guess I'm just a silly boy
I guess I'm just a silly boy
In the days when I was young I never had to cry
If I wanted a lover I did not have to try
But I must have set my expectations far too high
Guess I'm just a silly boy
I guess I'm just a silly boy
[Verse 2]
There are some things about love that I don't understand
When you promise your heart, you do the best you can
But no matter how I try behaving like a man
Seems I'm just a silly boy
I guess I'm just a silly boy
[Bridge]
This is the last time I'll wait to stand in line
If you don't come see me I'm dropping the boom on you
'Cause when you lose me
Then everyone will see what a silly girl can do
[Verse 3]
Don't you tell me that it's over, don't you make a sound
'Til I get to the river or someplace I can drown
'Cause I put my faith upon you and you let me down
Guess I'm just a silly boy
I guess I'm just a silly boy
[Bridge]
This is the last time I'll wait to stand in line
If you don't come see me I'm dropping the boom on you
'Cause when you lose me
Then everyone will see what a silly girl can do
[Verse 3]
Don't you tell me that it's over, don't you make a sound
'Til I get to the river or someplace I can drown
'Cause I put my faith upon you and you let me down
I guess I'm just a silly boy
I guess I'm just a silly boy
[Outro]
I guess I'm just a silly boy
This is the last time I'll wait to stand in line
If you don't come see me I'm dropping the boom on you
'Cause when you lose me
Then everyone will see what a silly girl can do
[Verse 3]
Don't you tell me that it's over, don't you make a sound
'Til I get to the river or someplace I can drown
'Cause I put my faith upon you and you let me down
I guess I'm just a silly boy
I guess I'm just a silly boy
[Outro]
I guess I'm just a silly boy

Genius Annotation
“Silly Boy” is a song by Utopia from the album “Deface the Music”. Each song on the album is a stylistic parody of the Beatles. “Silly Boy” is based on two country-influenced songs written by John Lennon, “I’m a Loser” and “I’ll Cry Instead”. Like those songs, “Silly Boy” is a first-person reflection on the narrator’s romantic incompetence and growing self-frustration.
