The Undertones - Boy Wonder lyrics

Boy Wonder never wants to grow up 'Cause with some competition he wouldn't look so great Well he's the biggest in the street He knows to use his weight But when it comes to real life It'll be too late Kept away from school, he didn't fit But to the younger children, he was it Like an older brother who still wants to play Innocent of hateful people and the things they say He would want to be the last one there But if they go he'll say he doesn't care 'Cause when they're gone he talks himself into another place Everybody likes him there, right to his face Boy Wonder never wants to grow up 'Cause with some competition he wouldn't look so great Well he's the biggest in the street He knows to use his weight But when it comes to real life It'll be too late
