Every time I kiss somebody new, I, uh
 
 Make believe I'm kissing you but, uh
 
 I can't kid my aching heart 'cause, uh
 
 My heart knows we're still apart and, uh
 
  
  Each night is like a thousand years, oh, oh
 
 I can't lose these young boy blues
  
 
 I wanna cry when I hear your name, but
 
 If I cry, I feel ashamed, so
 
 I let my pride be my guide and then
 
 I keep those tears inside, so
  
 
 Each night is like a thousand years, oh, oh
 
 Since I've got these young boy blues, hmm
  
 
 Don't know where to go
 
 Don't know what to do
 
 I'm so lonesome and lonely
 
 Since I lost you
  
 
 Every time I kiss somebody new, I, uh
 
 Make believe I'm kissing you but, uh
 
 I can't kid my aching heart 'cause, uh
 
 My heart knows we're still apart and
  
 
 Each night is like a thousand years, oh, oh
 
 I can't lose these young boy blues, hmm
 
 Each night is like a thousand years, oh, oh
 
 I can't lose these young boy blues, hmm
  
 
 Each night is like a thousand years
