I Must Not Chase The Boys Lyrics

Won't someone tell me what is happenin' to me
Why am I so missunderstood
Why can't they see
Now I'm caught between the devil and the angel
That I used to be

They say I'll understand it all in good time
But age ain't nothin' but a number in my mind
Goin' crazy with this push me pull me
Caught between wrong and right

I wanna give in to the woman in me
I wanna be someone they don't want me to be
The moral of the story is I got no choice
I must not chase the boys

I started writing down my deepest secrets
Seven days a week of truth and fantasy
Got the feelin' that the way my life is
Got to be prepared for changes

Won't someone tell me what is happenin' to me
Why am I so missunderstood
Why can't they see?
Now I'm caught between the devil and the angel
That I used to be

I wanna give in to the woman in me
I wanna be someone they don't want me to be
The moral of the story is I got no choice
I must not chase the boys

I wanna go left but they tell me go right
Don't wanna be the little girl they kissin' goodnight
The moral of the story is I got no choice
I must not chase the boys

They can try to make me write a thousand lies
But that won't ever change the way I feel inside
They've got their opinions but I just don't care
Cause that's not what I wanna hear

I, I must, I must not chase the boys
I, I must, I must not chase the boys
I must, I must, I must not.. .chase.. the boys

I wanna give in to the woman in me
I wanna be someone they don't want me to be
The moral of the story is I got no choice
I must not chase the boys

I wanna go left but they tell me go right
don't wanna be the little girl they kissin' goodnight
the moral of the story is I got no choice
I must not chase... the boys

The line "They can try to make me write 1,ooo lies" should be "They can try to make me write 1,ooo lines" as in sentences on the chalk board kind of lines.

clippy.hanger- I never thought of that. I always thought it was "1000 lies" because what they were making her write was in her mind a lie. but I guess the line idea makes a little more sense. Good point(I've heard the song a lot but never caught onto that"

AHHHHHHH!!! that's definately and example of boy crazy....and this song they are trying to say I must get a hold of myself and not let boys take over my mind even though they are cute.

I totally agree with loop-to-loop. : ) This song is about controlling yourself whenever you see a hottie!

I think besides practicing restraint, it's also about playing hard to get - "I wanna be someone they don't want me to be"and "don't wanna be the little girl they kissin' goodnight" - because she's been too "easy" in the past. Men are taking advantage of her and thinking she's loose, so they'll walk all over her. She realizes she'll be more valued if she doesn't do whatever they want her to do.

I think that it's about her being a little boy crazy, and her parents disapprove, and pass it off as a phase. She wants to grow up, but her parents want her to stay their baby girl. She doesn't want to disappoint her parents, but she wants to be her own person. She's torn.

i agree!
