One Grateful Boy. (Copyright Kim Downs)
1. Now I’ve found me a lover who ain’t playin’ games with me
She understands me for the things I’m tryin’ to be
When I’m feeling lonely, she will love me only
She don’t care about past lovers, undercover tales from the past
If she treats me right, each and every night
I’ll be one grateful boy
2. Now I’m finally in love in a summer paradise
My beloved and me, we sit drinkin’, champagne on ice
When she’s feelin’ lonely, she will love me only
I don’t care about past lovers, undercover tales from the past
If I treat her right, each and every night
I’ll make her one happy girl
Instrumental
3. Someday when we’re old and maybe just about to die
We’ll be holding hands and laughing, I’ll tell you why
Cos when we were lonely, we held each other only
Didn’t care about past lovers, undercover tales from the past
We treat each other right, each and every night
And I’m one grateful boy
Cos we treat each other right, each and every night
And I’m one happy girl.
