[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 2]
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

[Bridge]
Oh, when he wants to be alone
I just let him be
'Cause I know that soon enough
He will come back to me
[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus 3]
Well I let him kiss me there and then
'Cause I know he wants me back again
That's the way boys are
Yes, that's the way boys are

[Outro]
Oh, I love him!
Well, now, that's the way boys are
I said that's the way boys are
Hear me that's the way boys are
