Lyrics Boys Will Be Boys – Dua Lipa
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 their mouths
We smile away 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 TV
Oh, the kids ain’t alright
Boys will be
Boys will be
Boys will be
Boys will be boys
But girls will be women..②
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’νe stuck to ballet
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 will be
Boys will be
Boys will be boys
But girls will be women..②
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
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 will be
Boys will be
Boys will be boys
But girls will be women..②…
