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;
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.
'Cause 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 any more,
Then before I know it there he is standing at my door.
Well, I let him kiss me there then, 'cause I know he wants me back
again,
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,
Hear me, that's the way boys are...
