歌词
He remembers at fourteen
He knew what he wanted
He wanted a man, not psychiatry
Just to be healed
To be told it was all right
All he got was a hospital bed
And some pills to sleep at night
In his mind were images so divine
But in his life it was a hell of a time
They locked him away because he dared to love
They locked him away because he dared to love
They locked him away because he dared to love
They locked him away because he dared to love
A boy with a mind of his own
A boy with a mind of his own
He wonders if anyone has ever heard of him
They kicked in the door
Acting like there was some kind of murder going on
Made the love seem dirty
Called him sick, called him queer
The law was against him
He was twenty-five, his lover sixteen
Couldn't believe it was happening 'cos it seemed so unreal
But a cell twelve by eight makes it oh so very real
They locked him away because he dared to love
They locked him away because he dared to love
They locked him away because he dared to love
They locked him away because he dared to love
A boy with a mind of his own
He loved a boy with a mind of his own
Where is the crime
Where is the crime in love
Where is the crime
Where is the crime in love
Tell me where
Where is the crime in love
Tell me, tell me, tell me where
Where is the crime
They locked him away because he dared to love
They locked him away because he dared to love
They locked him away because he dared to love
They locked him away because he dared to love
He loved a boy with a mind of his own
