Whoa-oh-oh, Whoa,whoa,whoa,whoa,whoa Whoa-oh-oh, Whoa,whoa,whoa,whoa,whoa, In the lonely night, I wake up to find, Someone else's boy, Always on my mind, But he doesn't know, How much I really love him so. Whoa,whoa,whoa,whoa,whoa, Though it isn't right, When I dream like this, I long to hold him tight, And to taste his kiss, And then I wake to find, He's someone else's boy, Not mi-i-i-i-ine. Whenever I see them together, It breaks my poor heart in two, I know that I should forget him, "Cause he's her guy, But what can I do? Whoa,whoa,whoa whoa, How I hope and pray, To the Lord above, To send me down a boy, One that I can love, Who'll be mine alone, And not someone else's boy.
