Verse 1
C 
Way on the other side of town
F 
C 
lives a boy that's been misunderstood
Just because he lives crosstown
and I live downtown
My family says that he's no good
People listen now,
F 
C 
he may be a boy from Crosstown
But he's sure not the boy that I love
It's not where you come from
F 
that makes what you are
G 
It's what's inside that counts by far
C 
I'm talking about the boy
from Crosstown
Don't you know that he's sure
not the boy that I love
People downtown say he's
troubled now
F 
C 
because on his face he wears a frown.
He only acts the way he does
F 
C 
because he's unwanted
F 
and he's unloved.
C 
F 
C 
He may be a boy from Crosstown,
F 
C 
F 
C 
but he's sure not the boy that I love.
F 
C 
F 
And all the love that he's never known,
G 
I tend to leave it to him alone.
C 
I'm talking about the boy
from Crosstown.
Don't you know that he's showing off
the boy that I love?
Don't you know that I'm talking
F 
C 
about the boy from Crosstown?
F 
He's showing off the boy that I love.
C 
I love him, I love him, oh, yes, I do
F 
C 
Yes, I do
Oh, yes, I do
F 
C 
D 
C 
I love my baby
Oh, my family say
F 
they want what's best for me
C 
A  nice young man from society
F 
C 
But I don't want no Dr. Sun, you see
F 
C 
I want the boy that
means the most to me
F 
C 
I want the boy who calls town
F 
Yes, I do,
C 
cause he's the son of
F 
C 
F 
the boy that I love
C 
F 
C 
Others see him as the reckless kind
F 
G 
But in my eyes, he's just a dream divine
C 
And I'm talkin' bout the
boy from Crosstown
Don't you know that he's showin' off
F 
C 
the boy that I love?
F 
Don't want nobody
C 
F 
Oh, he's showin' off the boy that I  love
C 
Don't want nobody else
