Boys

They say boys only know who they love when they're ready

And girls will hang on for dear life

They'll wake up one day and decide who they'll marry

But girls hope their first love will make them their wife

Then he found somebody, nothing like me

And she got the ring and the cute family

Could never have known that it wouldn't be me

I don't think he knew either, the reason he chose her

It's just the right timing, she was right there

It wouldn't have mattered if I was prepared

A boy doesn't care for the fun or the rare

He chose to be ready, the moment that I wasn't there

They say boys only process the heartache much later

And girls will be broken that day

And they always come back when you're finally healing

And girls always give all the chances it takes

Then he found somebody, isn't it strange

That she got the love and the bricks that I laid?

Could never have known I was paving the way

For him to be ready, oh, isn't it funny?

It's just the right timing, she was right there

It wouldn't have mattered if I was prepared

A boy doesn't care for the fun or the rare

He chose to be ready, the moment that I wasn't there

There, there, I said it there

There, I was unprepared

There, guess I'm not so rare

When I was right there, there

There, there, I'll be okay

There, there, she doesn't know I'm here

Here, I'll try to not compare

When I was right there

It's just the right timing, she was right there

It wouldn't have mattered if I was prepared

A boy doesn't care for the fun or the rare

He chose to be ready, the moment that I wasn't there
