Yea, hey, hey..(x2)
When I'm with my guy and he watches all
the pretty girls go by..(yea, hey, hey.)
Well, I feel so hurt deep inside, I wish
that I could die..(yea, 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..
(yea, hey, hey.)
Well, I never tell him that he is
so unfair. (yea, hey, hey.)
Cause 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. (yea, hey, hey.)
Then before I know it..there he is..
standin' at my door. (yea, 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..
Well, now, that's the way boys are..
I said, that's the way boys are..(Fade.)
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
