Lyrics Boy George – Letter To A School Friend

I read your letter and I wept inside
You and me were so much alike
So much pain so many tears to hide
But I hope your happy now

Your mother rejected you and your brother died
And your old man had such brutal pride
He just couldn’t take your sensitive side
But I hope your happy now
Yes I hope your happy now
Yeah I hope your happy now
I hope your happy

I read your letter and I laughed out loud
You were crazy then and you’re still crazy now
A schoolgirl rebel not some face in the crowd
But I hope your happy now
Yes I hope your happy now

Your daddy was cruel you mother’s spirit was free
She left you alone to go and dance on the beach
Yeah and we were the freaks that they could not teach
But I hope your happy now
Yes I hope your happy now
Yeah I hope your happy now
I hope your happy

And I wish you love ’cause your heart is pure
From the hell of school to the closet door
They said we were fools but we knew so much more yeah yeah
I hope your happy now

I read your letter and I wept inside
You and me were so much alike
