Intro

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've stolen our heart,

But the others said they couldn't be prised apart,

They'll never let us in, I say

Boys will be boys

Chorus

Well it's out of my skin, so I can never win

  Oh thanks a lot,

  We cheat and we lie and we fight,

  We don't cry, well we try...

Interlude

Verse 3

I felt driven and I felt obliged,

I had feelings like a thorn in my side,

I hope you never let us down, now,

Boys will be boys.

Verse 4

But if I saw her, I could hardly restrain,

Heavy weight girl to labour with pain,

Chin up, chin up now

Boys will be boys.

Cross wit' me people understand,

Listen, right till the end,
