Those darn girls

Those darn girls

Nothing but pearls and curls

Those darn girls

Those darn boys

Those darn boys

Playing with their toys

Those darn boys

Then you’ll say they love her, then they say they don't (Ha!)

Then you say they’ll need ya, then they say they won’t (Ha!)

They hate you if you want 'em, they hate you if you don't (Ha!)

They hate you if you need 'em, and everything you wont (Ha!)
