Cover art for Boys (The Shirelles cover) lyrics by Beatles, The

This song always confused me. Why's he singing about boys?

This is a cover of a song by a group of girls. They just liked the song.

@Little Rachael Obviously, it was first performed by, and written for, a girl group, so yeah, it sounds a little weird. But I guess you could interpret it as, "Hey, isn't my gender (boys) great?" You know, talking up your own gender to the other. And it's being sung from the girl's perspective: "My girl says..." I guess they liked the song so much, they decided to change it a little so they could cover it.
