Lyrics

She said, boys, they can't be trusted
I get so disgusted
She says it over and over
You stuttered and you hesitated
From there it all just escalated
It happened over and over

And she said
Boys lie, like the rug under my feet
White lies, every breath between his teeth
Fine line, between love and alibis
Boys lie

He made me this one great promise
But call me the doubting thomas
She thought it over and over
You'll be mine, you'll be fine
Oh, for the rest of time
He promised over and over

And she said
Boys lie, like the rug under my feet
White lies, every breath between his teeth
Fine line, between love and alibis
Boys lie

There's nothing that a woman does
Just keep her faith because
There's nothing that a man can say
Won't make you walk away
Ain't nothing that he can't undo
A little nudge, and a broken smile
Just staring back at you

When it comes to being trusted
She said, you're so busted
But now that it's over, it's over
I took a poll and you were graded
Boys are highly overrated
It happens over and over

She said
Boys lie, like the rug under my feet
White lies, every breath between his teeth
Fine line, between love and alibis
Boys lie
