Other Boys

Lyrics

The blonde who's in a band with her twin
 Gives you a lift and idles the engine,
 Leans over and tells you how it's gonna be.
 I know about her, does she know about me?
 Or the long-tail pony with the thick, dark mane
 Fourteen hands, four thousand names
 You share her feed at the compound trough
 And then climb back on when she throws you off.
 There are other boys, too
 There are other boys, too
 There are other boys, too
 But don't let it worry you.
 And the spider you kissed in her stairwell
 Where she demonstrates acoustics to ne'er-do-wells
 Then spins her web and sells her spells
 To others in her clientele.
 And the chick who writes songs and then insists
 on playing them, yes, she's persistent.
 How could any man resist
 A girl with such a big setlist?
 And the one you whisper to when you call her,
 She's taller than a basketballer
 So you're both on deck before the wreck
 You'll either drown or crick your neck.
 There are other boys, too
 There are other boys, too
 There are other boys, too
 But don't let it worry you.
 And that sometime star of stage and screen
 Who had a bit part in a film back in her teens
 No, I'm not saying she wasn't great
 Perhaps she planned to be upstaged by the Empire State.
 And the one who smokes your cigarettes
 Yeah, she might pose the biggest threat yet:
 When no one else can intercede
 She's got the stuff you think you need.
 I've seen them come, I've seen them go
 Through the big swings doors at the old chateau
 When they quit calling, texting, knocking,
 I will be there for the locking.
 There are other girls, you see
 There are other girls, you see
 There are other girls, you see
 But I don't let it
 There are other boys, too
 There are other boys, too
 There are other boys, too
 But don't let it
