Boy At The Window Lyrics - Groove Theory - Groove Theory

Mmm 

Aaa 

Aaa aaa aaa, aaa aaa aaa 

Aaa aaa 

She was wearin' shockin' pink and jewelry of gold 

Papa said, "Son, isn't she fine?" 

(Bye) 

Knew he would be out all night 

Though son is only nine years old 

This is how he's forced to spend his time 

Lookin' out his window into someone else's home 

Watchin' mother, father, child at play 

(Play) 

Wishin' he could be a part 

But it's too hard to forget, he's alone 

Ooh ooh, a typical day, yea yea yea, yaa 

The boy wait out at the window, one more forgotten son 

Ahh, lookin' to the corner, to see what he'll become 

The boy wait out at the window, if he's still sittin' there 

(Still sittin' there) 

Are you even gonna care? 

Papa always tells his son, "Keep sittin' at our window 

Don't end up like me, watch from above, you can't go wrong" 

More and more son's thinking, "Won't be too far but I must go in his eye" 

(Eye) 

The corner is the only place he can belong 

(Ohh) 

Son is smart enough to see it, won't make him somebody 

But it's better than livin' with the hypocrisies above 

No more smellin' ho's and liquor on the breath of daddy 

Rather smell it on, the breath of brothers he don't know or love 

The boy wait out at the window, one more forgotten son 

Ahh, lookin' to the corner, to see what he'll become 

The boy wait out at the window, if he's still sittin' there 

(Still sittin' there) 

Are you even gonna care? 

Remember when the boy was young and untouched 

(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh) 

Happy with his window view, but look it's not enough 

(His dreams) 

His dreams are in the gutter and now he's just a number 

(It's the) 

All because he wanted to belong all 

(All) 

Oh baby, do it 

Wanted to belong, ohh ohh 

So he learned to play the role of hustler with no feelings 

Thinking, they'll accept me if I prove that I'm real hard 

Now he's learnin' firsthand of the word and it's true meanin' 

The window he looks out of now includes what iron bars 

The boy wait out at the window, one more forgotten son 

Ahh, he looked to the corner and look what he's become 

The boy wait out at the window, if he's still sittin' there 

(Still sittin' there) 

Are you even gonna care? 

The boy wait out at the window, one more forgotten son 

Ahh, lookin' to the corner, to see what he'll become 

The boy wait out at the window, if he's still sittin' there 

(Still sittin' there) 

Are you even gonna care? 

Are you even go?, ohh ohh, ohh ohh, ohh 

(Turn it on, turn it on) 

Gonna care 

(Still sittin' there) 

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, naa naa naa naa naa 

Taa raa raa raa raa, baa baa baa baa, ohh ohh ohh 

(Just sittin' there) 

Gonna care 

Gonna care 

Gonna care, yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea 

Gonna care, yea eee yea 

Gonna care 

(Just sittin' there) 

Care
