He's picking you up, he's taking you out
He's all of the things that you dream about
But don't get your hopes up
'Cause boys just wanna have fun
You're meeting his dad, you're shaking his hand
You're telling your mom you met a good man
But he'll never be one
'Cause boys just wanna have fun

Oh, it's a tale old as time
Same story, a different guy
We're told, "It's just what they do, " do, oh
They put those stars in your eyes
Then they go on with their lives
It's fuckin' sick, but it's true, true, oh

That's all they really want
Is that all they really want?
If that's all you really want
Then don't pretend I'm what you really want

He's holding your face, he's kissing your neck
He's saying, "I love you, " when you're having sex
But he'll say he was drunk
'Cause boys just wanna have fun
Then he'll kick you out, ignore all your calls
And say that you're crazy to everyone
When he gets what he wants
'Cause boys just wanna have fun

Oh, it's a tale old as time
Same story, a different guy
We're told, "It's just what they do, " oh, oh
They put those stars in your eyes
Then they go on with their lives
It's fuckin' sick, but it's true, true, oh

That's all they really want
Is that all they really want?
If that's all you really want
Then don't pretend I'm what you really want
That's all they really want
Is that all they really want?
Is that all you really want?
Then don't pretend I'm what you really want
