Hideaway (Erasure)

One day the boy decided
To let them know the way he felt inside
He could not stand to hide it
His mother she broke down and cried
Oh my father
Why don't you talk to me now
Oh my mother
Do you still cry yourself to sleep
Are you still proud of your little boy
Don't be afraid
You don't have to hide away
The boy he was rejected
By the people that he cared for
It's not what they expected
But he could not keep it secret anymore
Far from home now
Waiting by the telephone
There's a new world
You can make it on your own
Are you still proud of your little boy
Don't be afraid
You don't have to hide away
Don't be afraid
Love will mend your broken wing
Time will slip away
Learn to be brave

You're so gay and you don't even like boys
No you don't even like, no you don't even like, no you don't even like boys
You're so gay and you don't even like boys
No you don't even like, no you don't even like, no you don't even like boys

You're so sad maybe you should buy a happy meal
You're so skinny you should really super size the deal
Secretly you you're so amused
And nobody understands you
I'm so mean cuz cannot get you out of your head
I'm so angry cuz you'd rather my space instead
I can't believe I fell in love
With someone that wears more make up and

You're so gay and you don't even like boys
No you don't even like, no you don't even like, no you don't even like boys
You're so gay and you don't even like boys
No you don't even like, no you don't even like, no you don't even like

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
La, la, la
La, la, la
Oh, oh, oh
Do, do, do, do, bop, bop, bow
Do, do, do, bop, bop. day
You're so gay, you're so gay

You walking around like you're oh so debonair
You pull them down and there's really nothing there
I wish you would just be real with me

You're so gay and you don't even like boys
No you don't even like, no you don't even like, no you don't even like boys
You're so gay and you don't even like boys
No you don't even like, no you don't even like, no you don't even like
You're so gay and you don't even like boys
No you don't even like, no you don't even like, no you don't even like
No you don't even like, no you don't even like, no, no, no, no, no, no
