Boys Can Be Mean Lyrics

Boys can be mean now
they can hurt without knowing
it makes a girl stop and think now
what kind of love does he think he's showing
boys they can lie now
and make the girl believe what they're saying
but the day's gotta come now
when they're gonna have to do some paying
cause I know it's true now
Boys can be mean now
Boys can be mean

Boys pass the word now
when they think the chick's kind of groovy
if you think she's something else now
then he'll ask her out to a movie
that guy puts her on now
till he's got the poor girl sighing
but the day's gotta come when the boy's gonna do some crying
cause I know it's true now
Boys can be mean now
Boys can be mean

Boys can be mean now
they can hurt without knowing
it makes a girl stop and think now
what kind of love does he think he's showing
boys they can lie now
and make the girl believe what they're saying
but the day's gotta come now
when they're gonna have to do some paying
cause I know it's true now
Boys can be mean now
Boys can be mean

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
