Boys will be boys, but girls will be women It's a good nature to walk home before the sun goes down And put your keys between your knuckles when there's boys around Isn't it funny how we laugh it off to hide our fear When there's nothing funny here Sick intuition as they taught us so we won't freak out We hide our figures doing anything to shut them out We smile away to ease the tension so it don't go sour But there's nothing funny now When will we stop saying things cause they're all listening No, the kids ain't alright Oh, and they do what they see cause it's all on TV Oh, the kids ain't alright Boys will be boys, but girls will be women Boys will be boys, but girls will be women Boys will be boys, but girls will be women Boys will be boys, but girls will be women Boys will be boys, but girls will be women Girls will be women But girls will be women
