Shangri-Las The Boy Lyrics:
[Mary: (sung)]
His eyes are the eyes of a boy growing old,
Deep down inside there's a story untold.
He's sad, then he laughs a while,
He looks at me and then he smiles.
I'm in love, I'm in love with that boy.
[Mary: (spoken)]
Till I met him, I never thought,
That love could feel this way.
My nights were filled with lonely dreams,
That grew worse with each passing day.
I used to walk the streets at night,
With, really, no place to go.
But loneliness is a part of my past,
A million tears ago.
[Mary: (sung)]
When I stand by his side,
My heart's full of pride.
I look up at his face,
And I know, among giants,
He'll hold his place.
So proud, so bold, so strong and I belong.
Do you think that people are being fair,

But I don't care what people say,
My love will grow stronger with each passing day.
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, I'm in lo-ah-ove.
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, I'm in lo-ah-ove.
[Fade.]
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, I'm in...

[1] Personnel: Identical twins, Mary Anne & Marguerite "Marge" Ganser and
siblings, Mary & Elizabeth "Betty" Weiss
[1a] , formed the original act. Mary
Weiss was the main, lead singer, Betty, however, took lead on "Maybe," and
a number of B-sides and album tracks, Marge Ganser took lead on "I'm Blue"
and Mary Ann Ganser took the lead on "Sophisticated Boom Boom."]
[1a] Because Betty was underage, her mother did not allow her to tour until
1966, when she became 18. As a result she often did not appear in photos,
and many fans believed the Shangri-Las were a trio. Few pictures show all 4
of the girls.]
