It's second 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 that they taught us
So we won't freak out We hide our figures Doing anything to shut them out
We smile, a way to ease the tension So it don't go south 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 T.V Oh, the kids ain't alright
** Boys will be, boys will be Boys will be, boys will be boys
But girls will be women Boys will be, boys will be
Boys will be, boys will be boys But girls will be women
I'm sure if there's something That I can't find the words to say
I know that there will be a man Around to save the day
And that was sarcasm In case you needed it mansplained I should've stuck to ballet
If you're offended by this song You're clearly doing something wrong
If you're offended by this song Then you're probably saying
Boys will be, boys will be Boys will be, boys will be boys But girls will be women
