Here I am, all alone
And all dressed up to kill
'Cause I'd much rather be with the boys
Than be with you
 
Here I am with the gang
I don't care where you are
'Cause I'd much rather be with the boys
Than be with you

I hold up my head up high
When I walk down the street
Now I'm a man, I'm standing
On my own two feet

Don't try to call me
'Cause now I know the score
And now I know
That I don't need you anymore

Don't put me on, it's over now
It's no good looking back
'Cause I'd much rather be with the boys
Than be with you

Who's fooling who? It's over and
You've had all you're getting from me
'Cause I'd much rather be with the boys
Yes I'd much rather be with the boys
Yes I'd much rather be with the boys
And the boys they would much rather be with the boys
Than with girls like you

Girls like you
Girls like you
Girls like you...
