Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
When I'm with my guy
And he watches all the pretty girls go by (hey, hey, hey)
And, I feel so hurt deep inside
I wish that I could die (hey, hey, hey)
Not a word do I say
I just look the other way
Cause that's the way boys are (the way boys are)
That's the way boys are (the way boys are)
When he treats me rough
And he acts as though he doesn't really care (hey, hey, hey)
Well, I never tell him that he is so unfair (hey, hey, hey)
But, he loves me and I know it
But, he's just afraid to show it
Cause that's the way boys are (the way boys are)
That's the way boys are (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 (hey, hey, hey)
Then, before I know it, there he is
Standin' at my door (hey, hey, hey)
Well, I let him kiss me there and then
Cause I know he wants me back, again
That's the way boys are (the way boys are)
Yes, that's the way boys are (the way boys are)
Oh, I love him (the way boys are)
Well now, that's the way boys are (the way boys are)
I said, that's the way boys are (the way boys are)
Hear me, that’s the way boys are . . . .
