I met him down on a lonely beach
With the wind and rain in his hair
He seemed the kind that was out of my reach
And while I wanted to, I didn't dare

He had an air of mystery
With a wild strange light in his eyes
And when he turned to look in my face
My head started spinnin' around
And 'round, and 'round
And 'round, and 'round

Mystery boy
Oh, mystery boy
With a sad, sweet look in your eye
Mystery boy
My mystery boy
Can you tell me why?

I watched him there under the twilight skies
Till the Moon rose over the seas
His word and dance had me hypnotized
And his voice kept callin' to me

He took me to his hidin' place
And there he laid me down
And when he turned to look in my face
My head started spinnin' around
And 'round, and 'round
And 'round, and 'round

Mystery boy
Oh, mystery boy
With a sad, sweet look in your eye
Mystery boy
My mystery boy
Can you tell me why?
