Go Away Little Boy
Resist Forbidden Temptation: A Shirley Horn Melody
Lyrics
go way little boy
Expressing a desire for the boy to leave
go away little boy
Reiteration of the plea for the boy to go away
i'm not supposed to be alone with you
Stating the inappropriateness of being alone together
i know that your lips are sweet
Acknowledging the sweetness of the boy's lips
but our lips must never meet
Emphasizing the need to avoid kissing
i belong to somebody else
Affirming commitment to someone else
and i must be true.
Emphasizing the importance of loyalty
oh go away little boy
Repeating the request for the boy to leave
go away little boy
Reiteration of the plea for the boy to go away
it's hurting more the longer that you delay
Expressing increasing emotional pain due to delay
when you are near me like this
Highlighting the difficulty of resisting the boy's presence
you're much too hard to resist
Admitting the boy's allure and appeal
go away little boy
Repeating the plea for the boy to go away
before i beg you to stay .
Warning of the temptation to ask the boy to stay
i know that your lips are sweet
Reaffirming the temptation of the boy's lips
but our lips must never meet
Reiterating the necessity to avoid kissing
i belong to somebody else
Reiterating commitment to another person
and i must be true.
Reaffirming the importance of being faithful
go way little boy
Repeating the plea for the boy to leave
it's hurting me the longer that you delay
Expressing increased pain due to delay
when you are near me like this
Reiterating the difficulty of resisting the boy's presence
you're much too hard to resist
Admitting the strong attraction to the boy
go way little boy
Repeating the plea for the boy to go away
before i beg you to stay
Warning against begging the boy to stay
