(hey-ay-ay, hey-ay-ay)

When I’m with my guy and he
watches all the pretty girls go by-y-y (hey-ay-ay)
And I feel so hurt deep
inside I wish that I could die (hey-ay-ay)
Not a word do I sa-a-y, I just
look the other wa-a-a-a-ay
‘cause that’s the way boys are (that’s the
way boys are)
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
ca-a-are (hey-
ay-ay)
Well I never tell him that he is so unfair
(hey-ay-ay)
Plus he loves me and I know it but he’s just afraid to
sho-o-o-o-ow it
‘cause that’s the way boys are (that’s the way boys
are)
That’s the way boys are (that’s the way boys are)

Oh oh when
he wants to be alone, I just let him be
‘cause I know that soon enough he
will come back to-a me-e

When we have a fight I think that I won’t see
him anymore (hey-ay-ay)
The-en before I know it there he is standin’ at my
door (hey-ay-ay)
Well I let him kiss me then ‘cause I know he wants me
ba-a-ack again
That’s the way boys are (that’s the way boys are)
Yes
the way boys are (that’s the way boys are)

Oh I love him (that’s the
way boys are)
Well now that’s the way boys are (that’s the way boys
are)
I said that’s the way boys are (that’s the way boys
are)
