Chuck Berry - Big Boys lyrics

When I was just a little boy like you
I wanted to do things the big boys do
Wherever they went you knew they
Wouldn't let me go
And I got suspicious and I wanted to know
I was bright in school but
My future looked dim
'Cause the big boys wouldn't let
Me party with them

Yes, yes i didn't cry
Yes, yes and you know why
Yes, yes i knew when and what
Yes, yes no ifs, ands, or buts
I was looking for joy yes, yes, yes, yes
When I was little bitty boy

All of the big girls with their to
When I ask 'em what's happening, nobody knew
But when I found out where, what, when
And why i didn't let a single week pass by
Till the school dance when I first met you
And I learned to party like the big boys do

Yes, yes i didn't cry
Yes, yes and you know why
Yes, yes i knew when and what
Yes, yes no ifs, ands, or buts
I was looking for joy yes, yes, yes, yes
When I was little bitty boy

If I would have known what
Makes a world go 'round
I would have known what goes
Up must come down
If you love me like I love you
Mademoiselle, je vous aime, voulez-vous?
The girls want to stay and
The boys want to play
So let's a-rock and roll till
The break of day

Yes, yes i didn't cry
Yes, yes and you know why
Yes, yes i knew when and what
Yes, yes no ifs, ands, or buts
I was looking for joy yes, yes, yes, yes
When I was little bitty boy
