Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I've had nights I will never forget I've had nights I will always regret But I can take it on the chin and say... Boys will be boys There's been girls that have stolen our hearts But their arms simply couldn't be prized apart They will never let us in and say Boys will be boys Well it's under my skin so I could never win, oh thanks a lot We cheat and we lie and we fight, we don't cry but we try Ha! I felt driven and I felt obliged I've had feeling like thorn in my side I hope you never let us down now Boys will be boys Blinded by sorrow I could hardly restrain Everywhere there's guilt laboured with pain Chin up, chin up now Boys will be boys (Ranking Junior) Ah you said, you better move out the way I come to keep the people rocking and sway I'm well serious, I'll never ever play Boys will be boys, and there's nothing you can say (way) Spread the word I'll cross the land Must make people understand Wish I had a magic wand To connect people united as one this goes out to all the girls On the mic might send you round the bend Boys will be boys, listen right to the end! Well it's under my skin so I could never win, oh thanks a lot We cheat and we lie and we fight, we don't cry but we try Boys will be boys Boys will be boys till the end
