Every time I kiss somebody new, I

Make believe I'm kissing you but

I can't kid my aching heart 'cause

My heart know we're still apart and

Each night is like a thousand years, oh

I can't lose these young boy blues

I wanna cry when I hear your name, but

If I cry, I feel ashamed, so

I let my pride be my guide and

I keep those tears inside, so

Each night is like a thousand years, oh

Since I got these young boy blues, mmm

Don't know where to go

Don't know what to do

I'm so lonesome and lonely

Since I lost you

Every time I kiss somebody new, I

Make believe I'm kissing you but

I can't kid my aching heart 'cause

My heart know we're still apart and

Each night is like a thousand years, oh

I can't lose these young boy blues, mmm

Each night is like a thousand years, oh

I can't lose these young boy blues, mmm
