Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Heaven loves ya

The clouds part for ya

Nothing stands in your way

When you're a boy

[Verse 2]

Clothes always fit ya

Life is a pop of the cherry

When you're a boy

[Chorus]

When you're a boy

You can wear a uniform

When you're a boy

Other boys check you out

You get a girl

These are your favorite things

When you're a boy

[Chorus]

Boys

Boys

Boys keep swinging

Boys always work it out

[Verse 3]

Uncage the colors

Unfurl the flag

Luck just kissed you hello

When you're a boy

[Verse 4]

They'll never clone ya

You're always first on the line

When you're a boy

[Chorus]

When you're a boy

You can buy a home of your own

When you're a boy

Learn to drive and everything

You'll get your share

When you're a boy

[Chorus]

Boys

Boys

Boys keep swinging

Boys always work it out
