The Boy From Crosstown

[Intro]
(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh) Ooh

[Verse 1]
Way on the other side of town (Ooh)
Lives a boy that's been misunderstood
Just because he lives 'cross town and I live downtown
My family says that he's no good

[Chorus]
People listen now
He may be a boy from 'cross town
But he's sure enough the boy that I love (Love, love, love, love)
It's not where you come from that makes what you are
It's what inside that counts by far
I'm talking 'bout the boy from 'cross town
Don't you know that he's sure enough the boy that I love (Love, love, love, love)

[Verse 2]
People downtown say he's trouble bound
Because on his face he wears a frown
He only acts the way he does because
He's unwanted and he's unloved

[Chorus]
He may be a boy from 'cross town
But he's sure enough the boy that I love (Love, love, love, love)
And all the love that he's never known
I'll tenderly give to him alone
I'm talking 'bout the boy from 'cross town
Don't you know that he's sure enough the boy that I love (Love, love, love, love)
Don't you know that I'm talking 'bout the boy from 'cross town,, mmhmm
He's sure enough the boy that I love
I love him, I love him, oh yes I do

[Bridge]
Yes, I do (Really, really love him)
Oh, yes I do (Do you love him?)
I love my baby (Really love him?)

[Verse 3]
Oh, my family say they want what's best for me
A nice young man from society
But I don't want no doctor's son, you see
I want the boy that means the means the most to me

[Chorus]
I want the boy from 'cross town, yes I do
'Cause he's sure enough the boy that I love (Love, love, love, love)
Other see him as the reckless kind
But in my eyes he's just a dream divine
I'm talking 'bout the boy from 'cross town
Don't you know that he's sure enough the boy that I love (Love, love, love, love)
Don't want nobody (Talking 'bout the boy from 'cross town)
Oh, he's sure enough the boy that I love (Love, love, love, love)
Don't want nobody else (Talking 'bout the boy from 'cross town)
Ooh, he's sure enough the boy that I love, oh (Love)
