[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
Its second nature to walk home before the sun goes down
~#**************#~
And put your keys between your knuckles when theres boys around
~#**************#~
Isnt it funny how we laugh it off to hide our fear
~#**************#~
When theres nothing funny here? (Ah)
~#**************#~
Sick intuition that they taught us, so we wont freak out
~#**************#~
We hide our figures, doing anything to shut their mouths
~#**************#~
We smile away to ease the tension so it dont go south
~#**************#~
But theres nothing funny now (Ah)
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
When will we stop saying things
~#**************#~
‘Cause theyre all listening?
~#**************#~
No, the kids aint alright
~#**************#~
Oh, and they do what they see
~#**************#~
‘Cause its all on TV
~#**************#~
Oh, the kids aint alright
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Boys will be, boys will be
~#**************#~
Boys will be, boys will be boys
~#**************#~
But girls will be women
~#**************#~
Boys will be, boys will be
~#**************#~
Boys will be, boys will be boys
~#**************#~
But girls will be women
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
Im sure if theres something that I cant find the words to say
~#**************#~
I know that there will be a man around to save the day
~#**************#~
And that was sarcasm, in case you needed it mansplained
~#**************#~
I shouldve stuck to ballet (Ah)
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
When will we stop saying things
~#**************#~
‘Cause theyre all listening?
~#**************#~
No, the kids aint alright
~#**************#~
Oh, and they do what they see
~#**************#~
‘Cause its all on TV
~#**************#~
Oh, the kids aint alright
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Boys will be, boys will be
~#**************#~
Boys will be, boys will be boys
~#**************#~
But girls will be women
~#**************#~
Boys will be, boys will be
~#**************#~
Boys will be, boys will be boys
~#**************#~
But girls will be women
~#**************#~
[Bridge]
~#**************#~
If youre offended by this song
~#**************#~
Youre clearly doing something wrong
~#**************#~
If youre offended by this song
~#**************#~
Then youre probably saying
~#**************#~
Boys will be, boys will be
~#**************#~
Boys will be, boys will be boys
~#**************#~
But girls will be women
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
When will we stop saying things
~#**************#~
‘Cause theyre all listening?
~#**************#~
No, the kids aint alright
~#**************#~
Oh, and they do what they see
~#**************#~
‘Cause its all on TV
~#**************#~
Oh, the kids aint alright
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Boys will be, boys will be
~#**************#~
Boys will be, boys will be boys
~#**************#~
But girls will be women
~#**************#~
Boys will be, boys will be
~#**************#~
Boys will be, boys will be boys
~#**************#~
But girls will be women
