He looks right in, anything he's gone
He sees things you, only thought you knew
You count the days, since he held your hand

But you don't ask why, 'cause it's understood
It happens everytime, you walk back in the line
And you lie there - wondering

Why do boys, lie? When they want something bad
Why do boys lie about love, and promise this time
Why do boys, lie? When they don't get their way
If they just tell the truth, I won't cry
So why do boys lie? Why do boys, lie?

I want to dance, 'till the sun comes up
I'll drown his words, in a silver cup
He'll crash and burn, I'll never learn
I'd leave if I could, but it hurts so good
It happens all the time
You think you crossed that line
And you give it one more try

Why do boys, lie? When they want something bad
Why do boys lie about love, and promise this time
Why do boys, lie? When they don't get their way
If they just tell the truth, I won't cry
Why do boys, lie?

It's not fun, I could rescue you
I guess I thought, all your words were true
I guess I thought, that the sky was blue
I could fly like arise

Why do boys, lie? When they want something bad
Why do boys lie about love, and promise this time
Why do boys, lie?
When they don't get their way, if they just tell the truth, I won't cry
If you just tell the truth, I won't cry

Why do boys, lie?
Why do boys, lie?
Mmhmmm
