Martin L. Gore - Compulsion

Down in the boondocks
People put me down 'cause
That's the side of town I was born in

I love her
She loves me
But I don't fit in her society
Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks

Ev'ry night I watch the light
From the house upon the hill
I love a little girl who lives up there
And I guess I always will
But I don't dare knock on her door 'cause
Her daddy is my boss man
So I'll just have to be content
To see her whenever I can
