It's the same ol story all over the world

From bangkok to birmingham, boy meets girl

He's a wild seed, got hell to raise

She's about to put him in his place



Boys will be boys, when girls will let them

It's a fact of life, don't 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 he's just blowing smoke

Says he's the king of his castle but she knows it's a joke

He's a jester when his friends are around

She's the one who really wears the crown



Boys will be boys, when girls will let them

It's a fact of life, don't 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 it's the same old story since time began

Love is a riddle men just can't 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

It's a fact of life, don't 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...
