Lyrics

(Rod stewart/kevin savigar & jim cregan)

Single file in the girls corridor
Come along, stewart laddie!

Stewart boy, you'll never be much
'Cause you're too busy acting the fool
Thank you sir for them few kind words
On my last day of school

Oh, but my mama said, I could be a success
If I'd only get myself out of bed
Words of wisdom, but I wasn't list'ning
I had plans in my head

Only a boy
Trying it on
Coming on strong
Restless to roam
Only a boy
Silly and proud
Reckless and loud
Impressing the crowd
Only a boy

Rock'n' roll was in my brain
Eddie cochrane running through my brain
Skin tight trousers in council houses
The unemployment exchange

The blues I played were mississippi made
And ev'ry friday night I'd fall in love
Football fields and teenage pills
Nothing's enough

Only a boy
Dressing to kill
Passion to spill
Hand in the till
Only a boy
Slipping it in
Thin as a pin
Chasing a dream
Only a boy

Climb down off the school roof laddie

Oh and them dukes of freedom, I used to believe them
And all their rebelious vows
The critics, the cynics, who never understood it
Where are they now?

And all the wondering and the stumbling
That goes hand in hand with change
The yearning, the earning was it all part of learning
Or am I still the same?

Only a boy
Laughing aloud
Quick as a shot
Nobody can stop
Only a boy
Plans of his own
Leaving his home
Knows where he's going
Only a boy

Only a boy
Only a boy
Only a boy, ha ha, oh
