The Boy Gets Around

(album: Snapshot - 1983)

They say behind those eyes
Beats a heart as cold as ice
If I was smart
I'd take my heart and run

He promises the moon
His talk is fast and smooth
He's only looking out
For number one

They say
The boy (the boy), the boy gets around
He's been (he's been) with every girl in town
But I don't care what they say
You know I'm gonna love him anyway
They'll see, when he gets around to me
He'll settle down, down, down
The boy gets around, round round
The boy gets around...

They tell me, I'll get hurt
You play with fire, you'll get burned
But maybe that's a chance
I'll have to take

Nothing ventured, nothing gained
I'll prove he can be tamed
When I get through
They won't believe the change

The boy (the boy), the boy gets around
He's been (he's been) with every girl in town
But I don't care what they say
You know I'm gonna love him anyway
They'll see, when he gets around to me
He'll settle down, down, down
The boy gets around, round round
The boy gets around...

I tell you, he's misunderstood...
Don't they know even bad boys can be good?
Yes!

But I don't care what they say
You know I'm gonna love him anyway
They'll see, when he gets around to me
He'll settle down, down, down
The boy gets around, round round

The boy (the boy), the boy gets around
He's been (he's been) with every girl in to-own
The boy (the boy), the boy gets around
They'll see, with me, he'll settle down
The boy (the boy), the boy gets around
