(tom littlefield/rick rowell)

Its the same ol story all over the world
From bangkok to birmingham, boy meets girl
Hes a wild seed, got hell to raise
Shes about to put him in his place

Boys will be boys, when girls will let them
Its a fact of life, dont you forget em
Cuz the hand that rocks the cradle
Rules the world when you upset them
Boys will be boys, when girls will let them

Now you can hear him bragging, but hes just blowing smoke
Says hes the king of his castle but she knows its a joke
Hes a jester when his friends are around
Shes the one who really wears the crown

Boys will be boys, when girls will let them
Its a fact of life, dont you forget em
Cuz the hand that rocks the cradle
Rules the world when you upset them
Boys will be boys, when girls will let them

Well its the same old story since time began
Love is a riddle men just cant understand
She says oh baby, you can do what you please
One little look will bring him to his knees

Boys will be boys, when girls will let them
Its a fact of life, dont you forget em
Cuz the hand that rocks the cradle
Rules the world when you upset them
Boys will be boys, when girls will let them
Boys will be boys
Boys will be boys
Makin some noise
Boys will be boys
Oh.... play it boys
Makin some noise
They got their toys...
