Lyrics Mad About the Boy - Cecile McLorin Salvant

Mad About the Boy

Mad about the boy
It’s pretty funny buy I’m mad about the boy
He has a gay appeal that makes me feel there may be something sad about the boy
Walking down the street his eyes look out at me from people that I meet
I can’t believe t’s true but when I’m blue in some strange way I’m glad about
the boy
I’m hardly sentimental
Love isn’t so sublime
I’ve got to pay my rental and I can’t afford two waste my time if I could employ
Some kind of magic that would finally destroy this love that pains me and
enchains me but I can’t
Because I’m mad about the boy
Mad
It’s pretty funny but I’m mad
He has a gay appeal that makes me feel there may be something sad…
Walking down the street his eyes look out at me from people that I meet
I can’t believe it’s true but when I’m blue in some strange way I’m glad about
the boy
I’m hardly sentimental
Love isn’t so sublime
I’ve got to pay my rental and I can’t afford waste my time
If I could employ some kind of magic that would finally destroy this love that
pains me and enchains me but I can’t because I’m mad about the boy
