  • When I was just a little boy like you
    I wanted to do things the big boys do
    Wherever they went you knew they wouldn't let me go
    And I got suspicious and I wanted to know
    I was bright in school but my future looked dim
    'Cause the big boys wouldn't let me party with them

    Yes, yes
    I didn't cry
    Yes, yes
    And you know why
    Yes, yes
    I knew when and what
    Yes, yes
    No ifs, ands, or buts
    I was looking for joy
    Yes, yes, yes, yes
    When I was little bitty boy

    All of the big girls with their to
    When I ask 'em what's happening, nobody knew
    But when I found out where, what, when, and why
    I didn't let a single week pass by
    Till the school dance when I first met you
    And I learned to party like the big boys do

    Yes, yes
    I didn't cry
    Yes, yes
    And you know why
    Yes, yes
    I knew when and what
    Yes, yes
    No ifs, ands, or buts
    I was looking for joy
    Yes, yes, yes, yes
    When I was little bitty boy

    If I would have known what makes a world go 'round
    I would have known what goes up must come down
    If you love me like I love you
    Mademoiselle, je vous aime, voulez-vous?
    The girls want to stay and the boys want to play
    So let's a-rock and roll till the break of day

    Yes, yes
    I didn't cry
    Yes, yes
    And you know why
    Yes, yes
    I knew when and what
    Yes, yes
    No ifs, ands, or buts
    I was looking for joy
    Yes, yes, yes, yes
    When I was little bitty boy Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
