Cherry Boy by The Bob Crewe Generation Lyrics
So you want to be a star (star, star, star...)
I got the strings to pull to get you here
Sign here
I wouldn't have believed it
If I hadn't seen him for myself
Meet Mister Street Talk (Cherry Boy)
(everybody's talking 'bout him now)
And how he made it overnight
So you want to know Cherry Boy (yeah, you know we do)
Gonna hip you to Cherry Boy, Cherry Boy (Tell it)
They called the boy Cherry
That's what they called him
Matter of fact that's what he was
Cherry, Cherry
Pretty boy Cherry
They all want to ball him
A babe in the sack is what he was
Cherry, Cherry
Like a sizzling melting pot he got 'em all hot
Even though he's young and innocent
Out to make his name, find fortune and fame
But he can't see the world is bent to take
So bent to break his Cherry
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Cherry Boy
I got news, you're gonna lose your Cherry, Cherry
Losers weepers, finders keepers
Cherry, Cherry
(Head to toe, macho, a universal turn-on
You've got girls, guys, flipping out
To be your slave)
Well you blew into town out of nowhere, Nebraska
You've got the whole world staring at you
(whoo, me too)
I saw you getting off at the bus stop
Guess you think you're gonna head right to the top
(just like I did)
Well your love is the ticket to paradise
You better be ready to pay the price
(and it's nice, so nice)
What a hell-of-a-hunk of a he-man to love
Sweet stuff, naive and never touched
Got 'em mesmerized all the girls and guys
Cannot believe he's such a baby
Baby, Cherry Boy, yeah, yeah, yeah
Cherry, Cherry, Cherry, Cherry
You're on your way, baby (ooh...)
You're on your way, baby
Today, today, today, you're on your way
Baby, on your way

Come on, kid, you got a show to do
Cherry, Cherry Boy
Never give it away, make 'em pay
