That Boy
Love's Rollercoaster: Carlene Carter's Tale of Heartbreak
Lyrics
That boy took the heart of me
That person captured my emotions deeply.
Then he threw it back at me
Then they discarded or hurt me.
Thought I had a grip on it
I thought I had control or understanding of the situation.
That boy got away with it
But that person managed to escape consequences.
I don't mind the lack of sleep
I'm okay with not sleeping much; it helps me contemplate.
I find that it helps me think
I find clarity or solutions in this sleepless state.
Every night I lie awake
Every night, I'm awake, tormented.
And listen to my poor heart break
I hear my heart breaking.
That boy took the breath right out of me
That person deeply affected me.
Eyes like the lights on a Christmas tree
Their eyes were captivating like Christmas lights.
Just one look
Just one glance was enough.
I was hooked
I became captivated or infatuated.
Love so innocent too bad we never finished it
Our love was pure, but it never reached fulfillment.
That boy got the best of me
That person got the best of me.
Better than I thought I'd be
They exceeded my expectations.
Oh oh he drove me to tears
They made me cry.
That boy stripped all my gears
They disrupted my emotions entirely.
Hard case thought I'd never sell
I was a tough case, but they managed to affect me.
I gave and he took it well
I gave, and they accepted without difficulty.
Lovesick worked overtime
I suffered greatly due to love.
Heartaches beat double time
Pain and heartbreak occurred intensively.
That boy took the breath right out of me
Similar to before, they deeply affected me.
Eyes like the lights on a Christmas tree
Their eyes were mesmerizing like Christmas lights.
Just one look
Just a glance had a profound impact on me.
I was hooked
I became captivated or infatuated again.
Love so innocent too bad we'll never finished it
Our love remained innocent, but it never reached completion.
