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
Plus, 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
