Ke$ha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think it's time that I mention
I've got myself an obsession For the smell, for the touch ?
I know I got myself a habit but I've got to have it now
I don't care where work it out
(Let me break it down)
I try it on, I take it off
Something 'bout boots and boys (boots and boys)
They bring me so much joy (bring me joy)
(I gotta say it) I wear 'em both so pretty as I walk in the city
(Watch out) boots and boys
(Give me boots and boys)
Boots and boys
(Give me boots and boys)
Oh
I'm keeping quite the collection
Take nothing less than perfection
Cowboy boots, cowboy boys
Mmm, oh the joy
My men drop beats like a bomb
Excuse me, now, huh?
Wind me up, spin me 'round
Oh, look at what I've found (oh)

Lyrics: Now today class, the topic of the day:
Boys, pretend they're men but they're just
Boys, they're always scratching on their
Toys, well let me tell you something
Bout boys, bout boys, bout boys, bout boys
Bout boys, bout boys, bout boys, bout boys
Tell me Rebecca, what do you know about boys?
Boys are horny in the morning
Then they tell me that they love me
Then I give them what they want
They always take me shopping
Boys will play it like James Dean
Dressing slick and talking butter
Misbehave, I'll go to school
To kick their ass like I'm their mother
Boys, pretend they're men but they're just
Boys, they're always scratching on their
Toys, well let me tell you something
Bout boys, bout boys, bout boys, bout boys
You, there in the front row, Tessa, you
What do you know about boys?
Would you like to share it with the class?
If you looked down my boyfriend's brain
You would see it's kind of roomy
There's some balls and there's a sausage
Always pointing at my boobies
But don't get too complicated
Use big words or talk too quick
You must learn to just be patient
Cause he's thinking with his dโ
But if I want somebody to love
Guess I gotta try to put up
With the boys or I could turn gay
No, that's okay
So, if I want somebody to love
I just can't expect too much
From the boys, just use 'em for play
Yeah, that's okay
Boys, pretend they're men but they're just
Boys, they're always scratching on their
Toys, well let me tell you something
Bout boys, bout boys, bout boys, bout boys
So, to sum up today's lesson
Boys, they might have sexy muscles
Or a shiny Lamborghini
But it's probably compensating
For an eeny teeny weenie
Eeny teeny weenie, eeny teeny weenie
Eeny teeny weenie, eeny teeny weenie
So, if I want somebody to love
I just can't expect too much
From the boys, just use 'em for play
Just use them to play with
They're really cute
They're not really good for that much but
They can like run around and you know
You can kind of get down with them
And they're kind of furry and
They kind of smell but sometimes they
Boys are, boys are okay
Parts of them, parts of them are okay
ddddd
