I agree with justlisten. And Raffish, this song doesn't have to be either/or. I think it's meant to be both. What I mean by that is I think this song applies to many different meanings, mainly that she likes boys, obviously, and also that she feels kind of silly about how much she likes them.
I see this song, and the rest of the album, in a kind of satirical, self-deprecating light. I say that because I think GaGa sometimes feels a little stupid about what she does sometimes, but she has fun with it; she's aware of her weaknesses (obsession with boys, fame, et cetera) and often remarks about them, but she enjoys it and does her own thing.
If you listen to the entire album critically--mainly the title song, The Fame--I believe you'll notice the satire in her music, though it's certainly intertwined with a bit of truth about herself as well.
It's important to keep in mind that songs can have multiple meanings like this instead of thinking so linearly.
