hey, hey, hey, hey
When I’m with my guy and he watches the pretty girls go by
well it hurts so bad deep inside that I wish that I could die
not a word do I say
I just look the other way
cause that’s the way boys are
that’s the way boys are
that’s the way boys are
when he treats me rough and he acts as though he doesn’t care
well I never tell him that he is being so unfair
cause he loves me and I know it
he is just afraid to show it
cause that’s the way boys are
that’s the way boys are
that’s the way boys are
oh oh when he wants to be alone
I just let him be
cause I know soon enough
he’ll come back to me
he’ll come back to me
when we have a fight and I don’t think that I’ll see him anymore
but before I know it there he is
standing at my door
well I let him kiss me then
cause I know he wants me back
cause that’s the way boys are
that’s the way boys are
that’s the way boys are
that’s the way boys are
that’s the way boys are
that’s the way boys are
that’s the way boys are
that’s the way boys are
that’s the way boys are
When I’m with my guy and he watches the pretty girls go by
well it hurts so bad deep inside that I wish that I could die
not a word do I say
I just look the other way
cause that’s the way boys are
that’s the way boys are
that’s the way boys are
when he treats me rough and he acts as though he doesn’t care
well I never tell him that he is being so unfair
cause he loves me and I know it
he is just afraid to show it
cause that’s the way boys are
that’s the way boys are
that’s the way boys are
oh oh when he wants to be alone
I just let him be

he’ll come back to me
when we have a fight and I don’t think that I’ll see him anymore

standing at my door
well I let him kiss me then
cause I know he wants me back
cause that’s the way boys are
that’s the way boys are
that’s the way boys are
that’s the way boys are
that’s the way boys are
that’s the way boys are
that’s the way boys are
that’s the way boys are
that’s the way boys are

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Gentle Hour

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
This song is the story of my life.
You must be attracted to assholes. That sucks.<br /> <br /> Song's pretty self explanatory. Girl who dates guys who blatantly stare at other girls and it obviously bothers her. But she doesn't say anything because she weally weally likes him. <br /> Must be that a lot of girls date guys who are like this and from their experience they think that "that's the way boys are". Too bad they don't give nice boys a chance. (If they'd ever hope such a thing exists). Nice boys must be ugly.<br /> <br /> Hope you find a guy who in't the prototype of this song, unless you have by now.
