Silly Boy

In the days when I was young I never had to cry If I wanted a lover I did not have to try But I must have set my expectations far too high Guess I'm just a silly boy I guess I'm just a silly boy There are some things about love that I don't understand When you promise your heart you do the best you can But no matter how I try behaving like a man Seems I'm just a silly boy I guess I'm just a silly boy This is the last time I'll wait to stand in line If you don't come see me I'm dropping the boom on you 'Cause when you lose me Then everyone will see what a silly girl can do Don't you tell me that it's over Don't you make a sound 'Til I get to the river or someplace I can drown 'Cause I put my faith upon you and you let me down Guess I'm just a silly boy I guess I'm just a silly boy

Commentary
I haven't been able to spot a specific influence on this song, but it sounds a bit like the obligatory Ringo knock-off, perhaps strengthened by the point that the meter of "In the days when I was young" matches that of Yellow Submarine's "In the town where I was born."
