Featuring orchestral production, and a calypso beat, this song at some times sounds like a spiritual successor to Culture Club’s ‘I’ll Tumble 4 Ya’, though Pete Burns more than likely would dislike that comparison.
Some people like to wait around
They always seem to take
Just what the future brings
Me, I've never been like that
Got myself what I want
But not everything
But what's a boy to do
Without it
What's a boy to do
(Chorus)
I want you
You want me
Let it be
Please be mine
The sun won't shine
If you won't say you're mine
I want you
I've been waiting round so long
Wishin', hopin', prayin' I'd catch your eye
You give lots of special love
But I get disappointed cause they never smile
But what's a boy to do without it
What's a boy to do
(Chorus)
Somebody needs
Somebody loves
Somebody treats me right
Some people like to wait around
Wastin' time and taking what the future brings
Me I know just what I want
I've always had a likin' for life's finer things
But what's a boy
To do about it
What's a boy to do
