The Noise About Boys
Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(rap #1)
They say boys will be boys
Well that's not overblown
'Cause they're forever all together in a different time zone
What could be more annoying than this
Hang around and some more
And you're bound to have a big list
How 'bout the times you think you know
What's in their minds
But no, you don't, you can't, you won't
That's right
Irritated, frustrated, that's the way I feel
He's got me goin' 'round, up and down
Just like a Ferris weel

(singing)
One minute boys will adore you
Then ignore you
We could just pull out our hair
Sometimes they're so far from charming
It's alarming
You can't take him anywhere

They're supposed to be where it's at
Whoever came up with that
Girls, I just don't get it!

What's all that talk about
Wish we could figure out
What's all that noise about boys
(What's all that noise about boys)
I'll say without a doubt
They just make you scream and shout
What's all that noise about
What's all that noise about boys

They think their smile will impress you
But they haven't the clue
How to be your hero
They never call when they say so
Or they don't show
That gets them a zero

You think you finally fell
And things are going so well
That's when they drive you crazy

(rap #2)
They wanna be your whole wide world
Too bad, so sad, they don't know how to treat this girl
They can be smart
But they won't dance
So open doors for you:
No not a chance
I quess that's the way
The way it is
I can't seem to help it
I still wanna be his
I can't believe my self
But my heart's all in it
I'd be by his side in the new york minute

(singing)
What's all that talk about
Wish we could figure out
What's all that noise about boys
(What's all that noise about boys)
I'll say without a doubt
They just make you scream and shout
What's all that noise about
What's all that noise about boys

What's all that talk about
Wish we could figure out
What's all that noise about boys
(What's all that noise about boys)
I'll say without a doubt
They just make you scream and shout
What's all that noise about
What's all that noise about boys





(DANCE)
