That’s The Way Boys Are Lyrics By Lesley Gore

    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

    pre
    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

    pre
    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

    pre
    well i let him kiss me there and then
    ’cause i know he wants me back again

    fade
    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
