[00:02.17]Mad About the Boy - Carmen McRae
[00:04.15]
[00:15.89]Mad about the boy
[00:19.85]
[00:20.71]I know it's stupid to be mad about the boy
[00:26.68]
[00:27.88]I'm so ashamed of it but must admit
[00:33.27]The sleepless nights
[00:36.04]
[00:36.59]I've had about the boy
[00:40.54]
[00:44.06]On the silver screen
[00:47.73]
[00:48.37]He melts my foolish heart in every single scene
[00:54.62]
[00:56.04]Although I'm quite aware that
[01:00.21]Here and there are traces of the cad about the boy
[01:08.92]
[01:12.88]Lord knows I'm not a fool girl
[01:18.98]
[01:19.80]I really shouldn't care
[01:25.43]
[01:26.81]Lord knows I'm not a school girl
[01:32.03]In the flurry of her first affair
[01:40.22]
[01:41.05]Will it ever cloy
[01:43.49]
[01:44.45]This odd diversity of misery and joy
[01:50.96]
[01:52.10]I'm feeling quite insane and young again
[01:58.35]And all because I'm mad about the boy
[02:04.62]
[02:13.00]It's pretty funny but I'm mad about the boy
[02:20.76]He has a gay appeal that makes me feel
[02:26.59]There's maybe something sad about the boy
[02:34.09]
[02:36.82]Walking down the street his eyes look out at me
[02:43.47]From people that I meet I can't believe it's true
[02:52.62]But when I'm blue in some strange way
[02:57.79]I'm glad about the boy
[03:01.66]
[03:04.93]I'm hardly sentimental  love isn't so so blind
[03:18.00]
[03:19.46]I have to pay my rental and
[03:25.32]I can't afford to waste much time
[03:34.66]If I could employ
[03:37.53]
[03:38.65]A little magic that would finally destroy
[03:45.27]
[03:46.16]This dream that pains me and enchains me
[03:52.97]But I can't because I'm mad about the boy
