lyrics

Boys will be boys
Each and every one
Who get wild for a while and
forget what they've done

They won't leave the sandbox
or let go of mommy's hand
'til all that's left is the love
they buried in the sand

Boys will be boys
They won't look you in the eye
They'll take back an ex or two
but they won't take back a lie

And they slouch towards manhood
as the years are taken away
'til all that's left are the good times
they wear like a toupee

Boys will be boys
Always playing the field
with an eye toward the dugout
and the bases they used to steal

They’ll threaten you with guns
And tell you that they’re toys
Then shoot themselves in the foot
so they can remain boys
