Sonny Boy wants-a Girlfriend. Sonny Boy wants someone to love him.

Sonny Boy got time for dream' in. Don't you know he's got, time for scheme' in.

But then, he don't know, what it's all about.

I try to teach him and I, try not to shout.

Tell him Love isn't, all there is.

Won't always get you there, No!

Just a boy now, soon be a man. Little boy is growing, way to fast.

Sonny Boy, wants-a girlfriend. Sonny Boy wants someone to hug him, he wants

Someone to, hold him tight. Someone to make him, feel alright.

But then, he don't know, what it's all about.

I try to teach him and I'll, try not to shout.

Just sees the good. Doesn't see the bad.

Trusting everyone but me!

Sonny Boy, grow' in fast. Sonny Boy, got no past.

Sonny Boy, big boy at last. He just wants someone to know him.

But then, he don't know, what it's all about.

I try to teach him and I, I'll try not to shout.

He just wants to get-on, with it anyhow.

All his patience there, wearing thin…

Sonny Boy, he-da one. Sonny Boy, he-da man.

(Instrumental Break)

He don't know, what is, all about.

I try to show him and I, try not to shout.

He don't what to listen, anyhow.

Just got to learn it all, the hard way, Ooo-ya…
