The Boy Feels Strange

Melissa Etheridge

And he looks at me in wonder 
And he looks at me in fear 
Wrestling with his anger 
His pride and stony tears 
To place me in his life 
Will be hard and slow 
Does he want it need it 
I might never know 
The boy feels strange 
Oh the boy has changed

Looking from my tower 
I can see his fortress strong 
Surrounded by his army 
Where do I belong 
Does he ever find the answers 
In the cars as they go by 
Does he ever want to ask me why 
The boy feels strange 
Oh the boy has changed

And he's seen with all the women 
Who think that he's a god 
And he blesses whom he pleases 
Holding fast to the facade 
I want to reach out and believe him 
Through his miles and miles of pain 
But lately when I touch him 
The boy feel strange

And he speaks to me of business 
When I ask him how he's been 
Keeps me at a distance 
Never getting under the skin 
Can he make a new beginning 
Does he even want to try 
Or will he only let it die 
The boy feels strange 
Oh the boy has changed
