Boy Amongst Men




Boy Amongst Men







Boy Amongst Men

Debbie doesn't pull any punches. Paul should never have gotten involved with her in the first place.

Married men make easy targets.


Magnolia and her girlfriends are creating a howl listening to Debbie. Magnolia is mad at what Debbie is spouting off about Paul, but her friends keep her calm. They know Debbie would pummel her senseless in a heartbeat.

Those gals have been around the block a few times. They've reached the point every girl must deal with. They're over thirty five so they're too old to be hit on for their looks and too young to be thought of as "sugar mommas".

Still, they try. Once in a great while, these ladies can still turn me on.

If they maintain their dignity, of course.

The Lady

Well ... You know I been there, least a time or two
And I can tell you bout the boy if you ask me to

(come on.... diddy diddy... come on... diddy wah)

Don’t try to tell me what I should do, say or think
Just sit back here, I’ll tell you over a drink

(come on.... diddy diddy... come on... diddy wah)

Well I used to be his baby
In the back seat of his car
The boy left me abandoned
With love’s arrow through my heart
He thought he’d drive off and dump me for good
I proved he hadn’t checked under the hood

(come on.... diddy diddy... come on... diddy wah)

He was a sweet talk, thought he’s a stud
I told him “Baby, no, that ain’t enough”
He thought I only wanted time and his cash
“Boy, let me tell you I was born with more class!”
I felt much better when I saw him again
I had to laugh, cause he’s a boy amongst men...

Well ... You know I been there, least a time or two
And I can tell you bout the boy if you ask me to

(come on.... diddy diddy... come on... diddy wah)

I ain’t one to go lookin’ at a late night attraction
This girl is satisfied, I make my own sweet action

(come on.... diddy diddy... come on... diddy wah... wah...)

I got sick and tired of a silent telephone
Did myself a favor, stopped here on my way home
Found him in two arms that didn’t belong to me
Man turned into the boy, he tried not to be
Thought he was careful, had covered his tracks
He never had a chance, his timing was lax

(come on.... diddy diddy... come on... diddy wah)

He had an alibi, thought he was cute
I told him, “Dontcha try, there ain’t no use”
He thought I’d give in, want him back again
I just said “Baby, you’re a boy amongst men”
I felt much better, walkin’ away from him
Some other girl’s now keepin’ with a boy amongst men...

Well ... You know I been there, least a time or two
And I can tell you bout the boy if you ask me to

(come on.... diddy diddy... come on... diddy wah)

I ain’t one to go lookin’ at a late night attraction
This girl is satisfied, I make my own sweet action

(come on.... diddy diddy... come on... diddy wah... wah...)
