I took up my life with a strange-eyed boy
And he got what I need
And it's something peculiar
He ain't nothing like
I was brought up to want
But I want him for me,
Just for me and sometimes life
I'll fool ya
Sometimes cruel, yeah
But hallelujah for me

The boy with green eyes
Well I got time, time, time for anything
He'd like, you know it's true
And I never seen eyes
That burn into mine, mine, mine
The boy with green eyes
You know he gets through

I walk down the street
That I walked down before
But it don't look the same
Not the same and I know the reason
I picked up my head
And I saw him one day
And the world turned around upside down
You know he's turning me on,
Young girl neon
Look what he's gone and done

They boy with green eyes
Well I got time, time, time
For anything he'd like, you know it's true
And I never seen eyes
That burn into mine, mine, mine
The boy with green eyes
You know he get through
The boy with green eyes
The boy with green eyes
