  • Street's like a jungle
    So call the police
    Following the herd
    Down to Greece
    On holiday
    Love in the nineties
    Is paranoid
    On sunny beaches
    Take your chances
    Looking for

    Girls who are boys
    Who like boys to be girls
    Who do boys like they're girls
    Who do girls like they're boys
    Always should be someone you really love

    Girls who are boys
    Who like boys to be girls
    Who do boys like they're girls
    Who do girls like they're boys
    Always should be someone you really love

    Avoiding all work
    'Cause there's none available
    Like battery thinkers
    Count your thoughts
    On one-two-three-four-five fingers
    Nothing is wasted
    Only reproduced
    You get nasty blisters
    Du bist sehr schön
    But we haven't been introduced

    Girls who are boys
    Who like boys to be girls
    Who do boys like they're girls
    Who do girls like they're boys
    Always should be someone you really love

    Girls who are boys
    Who like boys to be girls
    Who do boys like they're girls
    Who do girls like they're boys
    Always should be someone you really love

    Looking for girls who are boys
    Who like boys to be girls
    Who do boys like they're girls
    Who do girls like they're boys
    Always should be someone you really love

    Girls who are boys
    Who like boys to be girls
    Who do boys like they're girls
    Who do girls like they're boys
    Always should be someone you really love

    Girls who are boys
    Who like boys to be girls
    Who do boys like they're girls
    Who do girls like they're boys
    Always should be someone you really love

    Girls who are boys
    Who like boys to be girls
    Who do boys like they're girls
    Who do girls like they're boys
    Always should be someone you really love

  • Bob Zilla from ChicagoIt's a party song from one of the truly great writers and singers of party songs. It is not expected to carry any big moral message that might make people feel timid about having fun, but it ends its refrain by saying that the boys and girls you party with should be someone you really love.
    Which is a nice message in a party song.
  • Chris from Germany GREAT song and a small Hit on the HOT 100 back in the summer of 1994 by reaching #59 there

    Had massive airplay ob College radio stations like KROQ in the US but it even reached the Mainstream Top 40 Pop Charts.
    3 years earlier they had another Hit on the HOT 100 with There is no other way
  • Oliver from Bangor, Gwynedd - UkI've never noticed "Du bist sehr schön" and I listen to this song all the time, the embarrassing thing is I purport to be a German speaker … ohh the shame. I always thought it was "stupid sessions".

  • Andrew from L.a., CaOH, So the Girls are the boys who act like their girls...
