The 12 Year Old Boy

Robert Cray

I feel bad, I feel terrible 
I'm just as sad as I can be 

Oh, I feel bad, I feel terrible 
I'm just as sad as I can be 

I let a boy, 12 years old 
Take my baby away from me 

He used to hang around my crib 
Until late into the night 

Oh, he used to hang around my crib 
Till late into the night 

Well, I never dreamed that my baby 
And that boy could be so tight 

Well, if the young boy hangs around you 
You should do what I shoulda did 

Oh, if the young boy hangs around you 
You should do what I shoulda did 

Man, you send him on over to your neighbors 
And hope your neighbors like kids
