I started talking to this girl at a party
She spoke in slurs and she spilled alcohol on me
Well then I knew she was the type of girl I had to walk away from

And in the bathroom there were two kids undressing
Giving new meaning to a first impression
And I just stood back in the corner drinking water feeling really dumb

I heard they went home together
So I was told but they may have never
Even said a word to each other
Tired of hearing all these
Tired of hearing all these
Tired of hearing all these

These conversations between boys and girls
Always about the other boys and girls
Rumors get started up by boys and girls
Til they come back around for boys and girls

These boys and girls feel high and mighty
They walk around so bright and shiny
I gotta put all that behind me

My friend was saying that his girl was the best thing
They talk for hours and it's going real smoothly
I shook my head and said "That's great but just remember who you're talking to"
A recent lover said she couldn't talk to me
Her man went crazy when he heard that we were speaking
I don't know why because he's got her now so what does he want me to do?

One thing gets traveled around
Like unavoidable sound
I just keep my ears to the ground
Tired of hearing all these
Tired of hearing all these
Tired of hearing all these

These conversations between boys and girls
Always about the other boys and girls
Rumors get started up by boys and girls
Til they come back around for boys and girls

These boys and girls feel high and mighty
They walk around so bright and shiny
I gotta put all that behind me

Some kids get overwhelmed and stressed out by the silliest things
They get obsessed with lies and other words their friends will bring
I'm sick of happy, sick of angry, sick of everything inside
Am-Bm-F
Why can't we all just live our lives?

These conversations between boys and girls
Always about the other boys and girls
Rumors get started up by boys and girls
Til they come back around for boys and girls

These boys and girls feel high and mighty
They walk around so bright and shiny
I gotta put all that behind me

For boys and girls (tired of hearing all these)
