Girls play sports in skirts
And boys just play 'til they get hurt
And maybe that's just the way it works
And maybe that's just the way it works

Friday night in last October
You proclaimed that we were over
You said my mind overloaded you
Yeah

What a shame
What a shame
The way you're screaming my name
Asking the code for my brain
And he said

What do girls want?
What do girls want?
What do girls want?
Hunny, if I knew I still wouldn't tell ya
What do girls want? (ya ya ya yaa)
What do girls want? (ya ya ya yaa)
What do girls want? (ya ya ya yaa)
Hunny, if I knew I still wouldn't tell ya

Tell your friends it's complicated
And Kelly's just some girl you dated
You didn't even kiss her for long
You said I didn't even kiss her for long
Tell your parents I was lazy
I never liked the looks they gave me
You didn't even kiss her for long
Tell them you didn't even kiss her for long

What a shame
What a shame
The way you're screaming my name
I scream the girl from my brain
And he said

What do girls want?
What do girls want?
What do girls want?
Hunny, if I knew I still wouldn't say it
What do girls want? (ya ya ya yaa)
What do girls want? (ya ya ya yaa)
What do girls want? (ya ya ya yaa)
Hunny, if I knew I still wouldn't say it

But it's not just your fault it's partly mine
Because I yelled at you all the time
I'm just sad you lost your spine
And couldn't look it in the eye
So you sat there and you lied
And wasted two years of my life
And then said

What do girls want?
What do girls want?
What do girls do right?
What do girls want? (ya ya ya yaa)
What do girls want? (ya ya ya yaa)
What do girls want? (ya ya ya yaa)
Hunny, if I knew I still wouldn't tell ya
