Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've had nights I will never forget
I've had nights I will always regret
But I can take it on the chin and say
Boys will be boys
[Verse 2]
There's been girls that have stolen our hearts
But their arms simply couldn't be prized apart
They will never let us in and say
Boys will be boys
[Verse 3]
Well it's under my skin so I could never win, oh thanks a lot
We cheat and we lie and we fight, we don't cry, well we try, ha ha
[Verse 4]
I felt driven and I felt obliged
I've had feelings like a thorn in my side
I hope you never let us down now
Boys will be boys
[Verse 5]
Blinded by sorrow I could hardly restrain
Everywhere there's guilt laboured with pain
Chin up, chin up now
Boys will be boys
[Verse 6]
And me said, you better move out the way
Me come fi keep the people dem rocking and sway
I'm well serious, I'll never ever play
Boys will be boys, and there's nothin' you can say, way
Spread the word I'll cross the land
Must make people understand
Wish I had a magic wand
Fi connect people united as one
This goes out to all the girls
On the mic might send you round the bend
But boys will be boys, listen right to the end!
[Verse 7]
Well it's under my skin so I could never win, oh thanks a lot
We cheat and we lie and we fight, we don't cry, well we try
Boys will be boys
Boys will be boys 'til the end
