どうして過ごすつもり
一人の Weekend
J-boy いかした
あなたのブルージーン
気取ったつもりでいるの
涙のジェイムズ・ディ-ンを
大人のあの娘は気まぐれ
消えただけ
She was a cold-hearted woman
Cold-hearted woman
cold-hearted woman
J-boy 恋に破れた心
なぐさめてくれるのは
いつもの Rock & Roll
J-boy 放課後の静けさに
ひびくあなたの Dancing Shoes
どこかさびしげ
J-boy 本当の顔を見せて
おどけたふりは今夜を
クールにするだけ
あなたはまだ若すぎて
嘘もつけない
とんだ人を好きになって
She was a cold-hearted woman
Cold-hearted woman
cold-hearted woman
今になって気づいたの
She was a cold-hearted woman
Cold-hearted woman
cold-hearted woman
J-boy 恋に破れた心
なぐさめてくれるのは
いつもの Rock & Roll
J-boy 踊りはじめた今は
誰もが叫ぶOne-Two-Three
いつもの Rock & Roll
J-boy 踊りはじめた今は
誰もが叫ぶOne-Two-Three
いつもの Rock & Roll
The song "Boys" by Maris talks about a young boy who is struggling with his true identity and trying to fit into societal expectations. He is unable to take part in social activities and spends his weekends alone, trying to be cool and wearing his denim like a wannabe James Dean. However, he is still young and inexperienced in love, and ends up falling for a cold-hearted woman who toys with his feelings. However, he finds solace in rock and roll music and dancing shoes, and finally finds his place in the world.
The opening lines of the song, "J-boy, why don't you go dancing? What are you going to do? A lonely weekend" suggest that the singer is trying to fit in with his peers but is unable to, perhaps because he is unsure about his true self. The line, "you wear your denim with a swagger like you're James Dean, shedding tears for your unrequited love" further reinforces his misplaced youthful arrogance. He falls for a woman who is described as "cold-hearted" and realizes the truth about her, that she was only using him. However, he finds comfort in rock and roll music and continues to dance, finding his true identity through the music.
The chorus of "Boys" is catchy and playful, with "J-boy, broken hearted, always finding solace in rock and roll" being repeated throughout the song. The song is a prime example of a coming-of-age tale, with the singer finally finding his place in the world, and being introduced to the joys of rock and roll.
