Lyrics

Everybody knows He comes and goes But the smell of his last cigarette Still lingers in your clothes So don't be stupid and naive He's only playing cupid And no matter what he says He's only skimming off the cream And he's only stoking boilers While his engine gathers steam He isn't good enough He isn't good enough to me He's only using you He's only passing through 'Cause he's a white boy Sitting in the back row Necking with his girlfriend Going to a go-go White boy Really going nowhere Victim of the sixties Tommy body mohair Everybody knows When the sewer overflows He'll be the one that always comes up Smelling like a rose With one foot in your doorway And one hand on your heart He'll never do it your way So don't bother to roll the bluffs Till the turtle doves find a place to stay in 'Cause I saw Espresso Bongo when I was a kid So I know what I'm saying He isn't good enough He isn't good enough to me He's only using you He's only passing through 'Cause he's a white boy Sitting in the back row Necking with his girlfriend Going to a go-go White boy Really going nowhere Victim of the sixties Tommy body mohair White boy What is your secret? White boy You better fill me in Why are all your suits Italian? Is it the way I'm standing? You gotta keep your head in Everybody knows Everyone agrees That you should not go crawling after him On your hands and knees You're being stupid and naive And you just may be falling for a White boy White boy White boy Sitting in the back row Necking with his girlfriend Going to a go-go White boy Really going nowhere Victim of the sixties
