Boy, I’ve Been Told peaked at #48 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #13 on Billboard’s dance music chart in 1988.
[Verse 1]
Looking in your eyes
I see a memory
Of how it used to be
Before our world came tumbling down
I try
I did nothing else
But try to keep our love alive
Oh, how I loved you so
And you just made me cry
Did you deceive me?
Did you do me wrong?
Boy, I can't take it
Can't take it anymore
I feel so helpless
Not knowing what to do
Do I keep on crying?
Or do I leave you?
[Chorus]
Boy, I've been told
Leaving you is the thing to do
It would be easy
If I didn`t want to start anew
Boy, I've been told
Leaving you is the thing to do
It won't be easy
'Cause breaking up is hard to do
[Verse 2]
Touch this lonely heart
As I try to say to you
About the things you do
Now I'm alone
Dissatisfied
Did you deceive me?
Did you do me wrong?
Boy, I can't take it
Can't take it anymore
I feel so helpless
Not knowing what to do
Do I keep on crying?
Or do I leave you?
[Repeat Chorus]
[Bridge]
Just like my friend said
You were never good for me
So just go about your way
Don't worry about me
And just forget we ever happened
The time has come to say goodbye
Don't ask why
Just let it all go
I've made it through
There's someone new
[Repeat Chorus x2]
