Boys In Action
Starz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I saw you all lined up
All shined up
Did you know the Starz were out tonight?

We can move you
Like nobody can
We can play til' it breaks the walls
When we cum, it tastes just like a milkshake
Have a milkshake all night long!

(Boys in action) That's what you got
(Boys in action) You're gonna like it a lot
(Boys in action) That's what you got here
(Boys in action) Do the haha, yeah!

You're gonna wind up in a line up
If you use it like a loser would
Just hold it steady
So make it good

I can love you, like nobody can
I can show you what it's all aout
In the morning, boy you'll be so wasted
I'll have to call the maid to drag you out

(Boys in action) That's what you got
(Boys in action) You're gonna like it a lot
(Boys in action) That's what you got here
(Boys in action) Do the haha, yeah!

Boys, boys, boys, boys in action!
Boys, boys, boys, boys in action!
Boys, boys, boys, boys in action!
Boys, boys, boys, boys in action!

You say you want action?
You say you want action?





Well that's just... what... you're... gonna... get!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Starz's "Boys In Action" are quite suggestive and boastful in their content. The opening lines talk about seeing a group of men who are all cleaned up and ready to go out for the night, and the singer asks them if they know that the Starz are also out tonight. This sets the stage for what may be a night of fun, excitement and possibly even a bit of debauchery. The chorus focuses on the idea that these men are in action, and that they are going to like what they are experiencing.
