He's young and a little innocent
still he knows the way that the world goes
he keeps on dreaming and he's still believing
but he doesn't see himself
the way that I do
oh silly boy don't you know
how sweet I think you are
and can't you see
how good the world could be
if only everybody would be a little more like you
silly boy
full of passion
full of life
he understands me and he understands you too
but he wonders why
we're the ones who had to take all of the pain
and he wonders why
he hasn't had his share of broken dreams
oh silly boy don't you know
how sweet I think you are
and can't you see
how good the world could be
if only everybody would be a little more like you
silly boy
he asks me how it feels
he doesn't know first hand
how cruel the world can be
he doesn't know that when you're down
you don't always get back up
before they start to kick you down again
and he tells me he doesn't deserve my kind words
and asks me why I care so much
oh silly boy don't you know
how sweet I think you are
and can't you see
how good the world could be
if only everybody would be a little more like you
silly boy
