I don't want much, accept me for what I am
Can't you look me in the eye and tell me you'll be my friend ?
And it never really came the respect that he sought
Part of him knew that it just can't be bought.
Now he's a sad boy, bad boy
Don't let them make you mad, boy
Just a sad boy
Here it comes again.
‘You're just not our kind', her mama constantly cried
'We won't let our baby fall victim to a lie'
I hope you don't mistake what I say
You know some of my best friends feel the same way.
Now he's a sad boy, bad boy
Don't let them make you mad, boy
Just a sad boy
Here it comes again.
So help me, if it's the last thing I ever do
So help me, I've got to make up my mind about you.
I don't want much, accept me for what I am
Can't you look me in the eye and tell me you'll be my friend ?
And it never really came the respect that he sought
Part of him knew that it just can't be bought.
Now he's a sad boy, bad boy
Don't let them make you mad, boy
Just a sad boy
Here it comes again
Just a sad boy
Here it comes again
Just a sad boy
Here it comes again
Just a sad boy
Here it comes again.
