Word On The Street
Boys Will Be Boys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You need attention from
every boy you see
I wouldn't make this up oh no
'Cause your friends are telling me:
You're fake, two
faced and you'll hang on every word I say
You're all alone,
you're all alone.
So we'll agree to disagree
Because right through me is all you see
You bring me down so its time to leave
But trust me girl its you not me
The thought of you is lost
But yet I'm always on your mind
That's why I keep my cell turned off
'cause you keep
calling all the time
Here's what
should do: just take the clue I'm over you
You're bad news and now
you're all…
You're all alone,
you're all alone.
So we'll agree to disagree
Because right
through me is all you see
You bring me down so its time to leave
But trust me girl its you not me
It's so wrong to
disagree
Because right through me
is all you see
You bring me down
so its time to leave
Its time to leave…
The lyrics to Boys Will Be Boys' "Word On The Street" tell the story of a girl who is seeking attention from every boy she sees, but is ultimately left alone and with a bad reputation among her friends. The singer of the song, presumably a former love interest or acquaintance of the girl, has grown tired of her attention-seeking behavior and is ready to move on. Despite the girl's attempts to cling onto him, he knows that it is time to break things off for the sake of his own well-being.
The lyrics are full of frustration and bitterness towards the girl, but also a sense of resignation and acceptance that the relationship is over. The singer tries to convince the girl that the problem lies with her, not him, and that it is time for her to move on as well. The chorus, with its repeated line "you're all alone", drives home the idea that the girl's behavior has left her isolated and without any real connections.
Overall, "Word On The Street" is a cautionary tale about the dangers of seeking attention and validation from others, and the negative consequences that can come from putting on a false front.
