Story Behind The Song
I was talking to my hair dresser about a gentleman I was dating, telling her how much I thought of him and she leaned down and whispered, "Boys lie".
Song Description
A musical approach reminiscent of early Pat Benetar. "Boys Lie" takes a look at dating as an older woman-She is full of hope but becomes aware of the reality that many of the men out there dating still act like boys.

Lyrics
Boys Lie
It takes courage to be a man
My girlfriend told me
When I was more confused
She said don?t kid yourself
You?ve been out of the loop
Don?t fall in love
Just have a good time
Don?t fall in love because
Chorus
Boys lie, boys lie, boys lie
Oh no, not this one
I hotly denied
This one really loves me
When he said it
He looked in my eyes
Don?t fall in love
It?s just a matter of time
Don?t fall in love because
Boys lie, boys lie, boys lie
They only want one thing
Don?t you understand
They?re fundamentally weak
It takes courage to be a man
Now I?m sitting here
I just hung up the phone
He said I love you
But I need more time alone
Don?t fall in love
Because it happens every time
Don?t fall in love because
Boys lie, boys lie, boys lie
