Wonderboy Lyrics

Never had to answer why

Liked to make the weaker cry

Apple of his mother's eye, her wonderboy

Average marks at all his schools

Sometimes cheated broke the rules

Dad said all those teachers' fools, to wonderboy, wonderboy

Oh so frightened that one day, turn his back or move away

Rather spoil him hope he'll stay their wonderboy

Dad finds him a job no doubt

Knows the business inside out

Can't believe they did without his wonderboy, wonderboy

Many friends though most are new

For the old ones always do

Get to know and see right through that wonderboy

Wonderboy, wonderboy

With his wife he's never wrong

Thrives on fear it makes him strong

Someone else to tag along with wonderboy

Now a son who'll one day reign

Mother's passion will sustain

See the pattern start again, it's wonderboy

Wonderboy, wonderboy

Wonderboy, wonderboy

Parent insecurity

Mother's little wonderboy

No faith in love returned

Daddy's precious pride and joy

Confidence and self-belief

Always been their number one

It seems they never learned

Lucky he's the perfect son

Scared of teaching values

Never known him second-best

Scared to teach respect

Thinks he's better than the rest

Parents take the easy way

Sure he never could be bad

Another future wrecked

All he did is made them glad
