Boys Lyrics

[Chorus]
They always tell us things to make us jealous
Never show us that they really know us
Never please us
Always tryna tease us
Why, oh, why

[Verse 1]
Boys, they're always hurting little girls
Boys, they're always hurting little girls

[Chorus]
They always tell us things to make us jealous
Never show us that they really know us
Never please us
Always tryna tease us
Why, oh, why

[Verse 2]
Boys, they're always calling someone names
Boys, they're always playing silly games

[Chorus]
Well now they always tell us things to make us jealous
Never show us that they really know us
Never please us
Always tryna tease us
Why, oh, why
[Verse 3]
Boys, they always always make us cry
Boys, they always tell a little lie

[Chorus]
Always tell us things to make us jealous
Never show us that they really know us
Never please us
Always tryna tease us
Why, oh, why

[Outro]
Boys, boys, boys!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
