Lyrics

I DON'T UNDERSTAND BOYS

If boys come from the planet Mars
Then girls must come from Venus
Girls think with our brains, of course
But boys' thoughts come from a different source

I don't understand boys
No, I don't understand boys
They love their cars and their high-tech toys
I don't understand boys

If boys know anything at all
They must have learned it from their mothers
They're handy for their strength and size
But mostly useless otherwise

And I don't understand boys
No, I'll never understand boys
They smoke cigars and make lots of noise
I don't understand boys

And boys don't understand girls
They live in their own testosterone world
I wish they'd try to get in touch with their feelings

(And) boys don't understand girls
But everything has changed in the boy/girl world
I used to wish they'd get in touch with their feelings

Now I don't understand boys
I really don't understand boys
They're styling their hair and piercing their ears
Busy pursuing their nursing careers
Supporting each other in therapy groups
And simmering nice vegetarian soups
Some of them cleaning up babies' messes
While others are wearing high heels and dresses
What a sorry collection of mixed-up jerks!
Oh well, hand me my briefcase - I'm late for work
(I guess) I don't understand boys
No, I'll never understand boys
Oh, I don't understand boys
