lyrics

Verse
I met a boy he was so fine
He kept on giving me some line
Right from his head until his toes
He was good looking, I’d lose control
I knew that he could be a jerk
Kinda guys who’d treat women like dirt
While he was busy with defiling
He forgot the satisfying

Chorus
I thought he was, thought he was her man
I thought he would, thought he’d understand
I thought he knew, what he meant to me
So I gave him things I shouldn’t of

Verse
I met a boy, he was so cute
He kept on giving me that look
That look of depth and understanding
So sensitive and undemanding
I met a boy he was so sweet
Some kinda candy counted treat
If I could go back to that day
I probably would have done it that same way

Chorus
I thought he was, thought he was her man
I thought he would, thought he’d understand
I thought he knew, what he meant to me
So I gave him things I shouldn’t of

Thought he was her man, I shouldn’t of
Thought he’d understand, I shouldn’t of
What he meant to me,
But I gave him things I shouldn’t of
Oh no, oh no

Bridge
I thought he was my boy I thought he was
So I gave him things that I shouldn’t of
I thought he was my boy I thought he was
So I gave him things that I shouldn’t of

Chorus
I thought he was, thought he was her man
I thought he would, thought he’d understand
I thought he knew, what he meant to me
So I gave him things I shouldn’t of

Thought he was her man, I shouldn’t of
Thought he’d understand, I shouldn’t of
What he meant to me
But I gave him things I shouldn’t of

Thought he was her man, I shouldn’t of
Thought he’d understand, I shouldn’t of
What he meant to me
But I gave him things I shouldn’t of

Stevie & The Sleepers image

Stevie & The Sleepers Melbourne, Australia

Part soul mama, part wandering roots woman, Stevie Joy leads a distinct assembly of artistic collaborators. Her charismatic persona and compelling soul vocals are matched with the storytelling genius of a good 70s folk tune, and a strain of blues heartbreak behind the riffs. ... more
