lyrics

Mean as boys
(Burgess)
You were young And naïve
Laying on the floor praying for peace
You liked to fight you liked to win
You liked the feel of that summer sun
on your pale white skin
I thought that you were the one
Back in 1991
I was only 17 years old
How was I to know
That girls could be
As mean as boys
On the side in the night
A little bit of wrong
And a whole lot of right
But there we were in the end
Wishing all of life’s scars
Were burnt into the skin
I thought that you were the one
Guess we were just havin’ fun
I was only 17 years old
How was I to know
That girls could be
As mean as boys
