There he goes again
Down by the ocean line
Sun on his shoulders
Moving slow, right on time
He walks like the summer
Knows exactly who he is
Every step says: Danger
Every smile tastes like bliss
City breathing through him
Salt and skin and heat
Every eye keeps turning
When his shadow hits the street
I swear the world gets quiet
When he passes by
Even the waves slow down
Just to watch him try
That boy from Ipanema
When he walks, my heart begins
He don't know my name yet
But I'm already in
That boy from Ipanema
Modern love, barefoot soul
Every time he passes
I lose a little control
He laughs into the sunlight
Like the day was made for him
Golden hour follows
Everywhere he's been
I don't know his story
If he loves or if he runs
But desire writes poems
Before the talking comes
I've loved men like questions
Never staying long
But something in his silence
Feels dangerously strong
That boy from Ipanema
Moves like music, tastes like sin
If he ever looks my way
I'll let the trouble in
That boy from Ipanema
Ocean eyes, careless grin
I don't need forever
Just one night to begin
Maybe love is just a moment
Passing right on time
Maybe all I need
Is his hand touching mine
That boy from Ipanema
Moves like music, tastes like sin
If he ever looks my way
I'll let the trouble in
That boy from Ipanema
Ocean eyes, careless grin
I don't need forever
Just one night to begin
That boy from Ipanema
Moves like music, tastes like sin
If he ever looks my way
I'll let the trouble in
That boy from Ipanema
Ocean eyes, careless grin
I don't need forever
Just one night to begin
(Pá, pá, pada da da)
That boy from Ipanema
(Oh, here he goes again)
That boy from Ipanema
(I fall every time, my friend)
