MIKA - One Foot Boy Lyrics






What's a matter
with going places?
Take that gross look off your faces
Empty loving makes me seasick
What you're here for, I don't need it

I'll say nothing on your microphone
Till you swear to take me home
There's a one foot boy eleven stone
He's sitting on my shoulder
I'm too scared to look away,
He comes here almost everyday
And everyday I push him off and tell him boy we're over

MY OH MY
I think my mind is gone
I'm left here wondering
Was I crazy all along?
What do I do?
Nothing left but pray
Gonna shoot somebody
Help me drive this craziness away
I'm happy on my own

One foot boy!
One foot boy!
One foot boy!
One foot boy!

Say you like me,
But not with changes?
Shut up and forget it
These are my faces
All these colours
That surround me
All these places
Only drown me

I'll say nothing on your microphone
Till you swear to take me home
There's a one foot boy eleven stone
He's sitting on my shoulder

I'm too scared to look away,
He comes here almost everyday
And everyday I push him off and tell him boy we're over

MY OH MY
I think my mind is gone
I'm left here wondering
Was I crazy all along?
What do I do?
Nothing left but pray
Gonna shoot somebody
Help me drive this craziness away
I'm happy on my own

I think my mind is gone
I'm left here wondering
Was I crazy all along?
What do I do?
Nothing left but pray
Gonna shoot somebody
Help me drive this craziness away
I'm happy on my own

What's a matter
with going places?
Take that gross look off your faces
Empty loving makes me seasick
What you here for, I don't need it

One foot boy!
One foot boy!
One foot boy!
One foot boy!

One foot boy!
One foot boy!
One foot boy!
One foot boy!

Happy on my own

MIKA One Foot Boy Comments
  1. o.... A....

    I remember when I was a young boy I would sit there and just put all mikas songs on replay 🙌🏼

  2. S.... S....

    Love this song 💕💕💕

  3. P.... N....

    so... is this about dicks? or an actual guy whit only one foot?? im confuuused

  4. p.... ....

    clearly about someone struggling with his sexuality, the one foot boy is representing his own sexuality

  5. T.... v....

    I put this on really loudly while wearing headphones and then I just kind of space out and it calms me down lol

    T.... v....

    Do you also close your eyes, smile, and Bob your head from side to side like I do when doing this? :)

  6. S.... D....

    Funny story: I first heard this song on a jpop fanservice video X)

  7. R.... B....

    Does anyone know what he's singing in the background at 1:01? The high note.

    R.... B....

    Chevy, I subscribed to you because you're a MIKA fan. 😊

    R.... B....

    really? mika is my obsession, and thank you

    R.... B....

    "Don't stay. Keep the last of me."

    R.... B....

    pretty sure it's "Day tripper." and you all be lovin

    R.... B....

    It's "stay too close to me", I'm pretty sure.

  8. c.... ....

    No podemos forzar a 21 personas a tener buen gusto !

    c.... ....

    carbacu así es

  9. S.... i....

    ptn j'ador

  10. f.... ....

    Greatest song ever

  11. D.... D....

    @Tatiana Dalberto coloca essa na tua playlist tb. :) soooo funny!

  12. C.... T....

    J'adore omg

    WHAT THE MATTER ?????!!!!!

  13. t.... a....

    Such a weird awesome song lol

  14. C.... H....

    I want to know, what this song is about... .
    Never mind! I love it <3

  15. A.... B....

    You're welcome, I've added at least 1,000 views to this video

  16. K.... ....

    he should have forwarded that chain letter.

  17. D.... T....

    Why does this song put me in such a good mood? I mean really. I'm smiling for almost no reason. LOL

  18. E.... T....

    a boy which is one foot high :) love this song x

  19. D.... G....

    MY SONG O/

  20. t.... ....

    I always think of this song as being about gender preference or the struggle of finding ones sexual orientation.
    Perhaps a "one foot boy" is a lover that is only half in his life. "I'm too scared to look away/ comes here almost every day/ but every day I push him off and tell him boy we're over."
    "Empty loving makes me seasick" perhaps meaning that he doesn't want to love someone if it's not truly what he prefers? "All these colors that surround me/ all these faces only drown me" <--pressure?

  21. P.... S....

    It could be a boy with one foot, which would mean that he is unstable.
    But I think it means that the boy is one foot tall, and since he weighs eleven stones (154 pounds) he is overweight.
    The one foot boy either represents his concience or his developing sexuality everyone seems to care so much about, or so I've heard.

  22. J.... ....

    the one foot, eleven stone boy is a metaphor for his growing sexuality, it can't balance properly and keep stable because It has one foot <3

  23. J.... ....

    mika makes me happy <3

  24. M.... ....

    Could the one foot boy on his shoulder be a reference to an angel/devil on each shoulder? The eleven stone could be the weight that this brings, satisfying both his conscience and the outside world, and pushing it off could mean he often forgets to look after himself.

    :P might be a bit far-fetched, lol!

  25. M.... ....

    This song is too short

  26. J.... F....

    Is it weird that I whale my dick around in the air to this song? O_o

  27. G.... P....

    Sounds like Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)

  28. M.... _....

    lol, your comment goes perfectly with your profile pic.

  29. M.... _....

    Actually, he's bisexual, so you don't have to change at all. ;P

  30. s.... r....

    This song used to scare me it was so relevant to my life at the time

  31. E.... v....

    LOL, no seriously... what is a one foot boy?!?

  32. S.... ....

    Mika is such a hottie with great talents. He's really incredible. He's gay, but it's okay, I am willing to change my gender just for him. :3 I'm gonna be all man-ish! and pretend that I have a penis....

    S.... ....

    SVelicious96 i thought i was the only one who wanted this 🤣

  33. v.... M....

    his penis...haha

  34. B.... B....

    A boy with one foot.

  35. M.... K....

    who cares even IF he is gay or not?! he is awesome! most of us wont ever have a chance to even talk to him, why should we worry about his sexuality?

  36. M.... K....

    that made me laught!!!

  37. M.... K....

    ok, first: the "whats the matter" and "say you love me" are about what teenagers would like to say to their parents who dont understand them.

    second: the one foot boy, eleven stones, sitting on his shoulder is his conscience. one foot means about 12 iches tall, as 11 stones means about 154lb weight.

    third: i still havnt understand what the microphone could mean, but aside from "i'll say nothing on your microphone" u can figure out the rest.

    hope i could be of help...

  38. M.... K....

    relax... he is talking about his conscience: one foot boy, eleven stones, means about 12 inches high and as heavy as an adult - and its sitting on his shoulder. and the screaming part is about conversations with parents.

  39. B.... ....

    MIKA YOU ARE THE REAL SUPERHERO

  40. h.... ....

    @Foxnaught.... this song is creeping me out... my ex-boyfriend had only one foot and our 'love' wasn't real and so long....

  41. W.... ....

    One foot boy is an analogy for love that isnt real and how it will never get any where

  42. W.... ....

    I always love his cover art :D

  43. T.... K....

    Oh, right...
    Nevermind,mistakes happen (:

  44. T.... K....

    6 Letters:
    PERFECT!

  45. O.... ....

    His vocals are simply stunning...

  46. P.... ....

    does he mean one foot as in height or a boy with one foot?!

  47. m.... l....

    I ask this, too.

  48. e.... ....

    I always thought he was saying "I'm hopping on my own" since...ya know...one foot boy? lmfao

  49. M.... C....

    Mika <3 <3 Trop hate à la sortie de ton 3ème album, The origin of love !!

  50. R.... Q....

    Mika is perfect <3 <3

  51. o.... ....

    no.
    bouncy fluffy
    :3

  52. M.... S....

    HAHAHAAAA good luck. ;)

  53. R.... ....

    I didn't even realize i had started to dance in my seat, I've got headphones in and my classmates are looking at me funny xD

  54. R.... ....

    @MissMuffinToYou Why? Just enjoy his fantastic music!

  55. S.... i....

    @INSERTNAME47 no no, MIKA's awesome and you're awesome if you like him (!)

  56. S.... i....

    @julielaughs14 I think this is one MIKA song among others about who someone is trying to change him into something that he don't want to be. (a lot of his songs got a theme like that, look up grace kelly) It's about someone "sitting on his shoulder" telling him what to do and how to act and he tries to push him away "boy we're over" get it? :)

  57. S.... i....

    @giraffie7 I've wondered too...

  58. S.... i....

    @MissMuffinToYou try out grace kelly french or something.. haha no just kidding that's to much fun to be bad :P

  59. A.... R....

    does anyone know what he sings really high-pitched during one foot boy at 0:59?

  60. S.... ....

    I just now realised that the album cover is a bedroom.

  61. 2.... ....

    This song speaks to my feet, I just start dancing

  62. W.... ....

    this album was amazing.

  63. J.... A....

    Does anybody understand what the song's about? I can't figure it out, and I love it, so I want to know. :)

  64. x.... ....

    ...This sounds like a needy booty call. Just saying.

  65. I.... ....

    is it wrong for a man to like this

  66. m.... ....

    ONE FOOTBALL
    ONE FOOTBAAAAAAAAALL

  67. J.... G....

    I love this song - really I do, MIKA is amazing!
    but
    what the fuck is a one foot boy?

  68. L.... H....

    aMAZZZINNGGGG!!!!!!!

  69. T.... ....

    Just about every Mika song lends itself fabulously to acapella renditions. :D

  70. T.... ....

    i love mika

  71. J.... K....

    one of my favorite mika songs :-)

  72. B.... ....

    fuck, this shit is addictive

  73. E.... W....

    @MrsFrogs15 yeah, i didnt mean mika replace mj just be like mj lol

  74. C.... G....

    I love that Mika doesn't sing these love songs like EVEYBODY else -.-
    Mika is the real deal. He sings songs that are just awesome :D

  75. 9.... ....

    Sometimes, I think Mika is Freddy Mercury incarnate..I love them both to bits <3

  76. E.... W....

    @BrokenHeartedGirl117 haha

  77. v.... s....

    reminds me... It Could Be Worse

  78. f.... ....

    Unlike mot songs in the 21st century, All of Mika's songs have such great messages and meaning! He is such an inspiration & absolutely amazing.

  79. a.... ....

    @EmmaWilliamson3 sadly, he won't beat gaga :(

  80. E.... W....

    One of my favorite songs by Mika <3

  81. A.... ....

    i cant belive that the old days i kept saying mika is gay and nothing but a while later i said mika is awesome i just cant stop listenning to his songs

  82. M.... R....

    his songs are addicting to listen to!

  83. A.... ....

    @musicsinga I definitely do! haha :) I'm pretty sure its "stone" like the measure of weight. One foot tall, 11 (stone/pounds). I had to look it up, cuz I thought MIKA couldn't be talking about a stoned 11 Year old!

  84. 3.... ....

    damn this song is CATCHY.

    and to think i first heard it whilst getting a birthday card in Paperchase, thinking, "i KNOW this definitely sounds like Mika...but what the hell is this song??".

    so thanks, Paperchase! XD
