That's The Way Boys Are

When I'm with my guy

and he watches all the pretty girls go by

And I feel so hurt deep inside

I wish that I could die

Not a word do I say

I just look the other way

'Cause that's the way boys are

That's the way boys are

When he treats me rough

and he acts as though he doesn't really care

Well, I never tell him that he is so unfair

Cause he loves me and I know it

But he's just afraid to show it

'Cause that's the way boys are

That's the way boys are

Oh, when he wants to be alone

I just let him be

'Cause I know that soon enough

He will come back to me

When we have a fight

I think that I won't see him anymore

Then before I know it, there he is

Standin' at my door

Well I let him kiss me then

'Cause I know he wants me back again

That's the way boys are

Yes, that's the way boys are

Oh, I love him

Well now, that's the way boys are

I said that's the way boys are
