[Chorus: All]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Boys will be boys
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Boys will be boys

[Verse 1: AJ]
You've got something
So incredible in my eyes
And my heart (and my heart)
It starts pumpin' (pumpin')
Whenever you're around
My whole world's upside down baby

[Pre-Chorus: Brian]
But I try to get closer
And you always push me away
You tell me it's much too soon
But I just can't help it
I always gotta make a play

[Chorus: All & Brian]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Boys will be boys (hey, hey)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, baby, boys will be boys

[Verse 2: AJ & Nick]
All my senses go right into overdrive
Oh, my defenses are never gonna hold
I always got to lose control

[Pre-Chorus: Brian]
And I hear you say
That you think that we should wait
And I can't hold on anymore
My body's calling for you
So please don't hesitate

[Chorus: All & Brian]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Boys will be boys
(You oughta know by now, baby)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Boys will be boys
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Boys will be boys
(You oughta know by now, baby)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Boys will be boys
(I gotta do what I gotta do, baby)

[Bridge: Brian]
And I hear you say
That you think that we should wait
And I can't hold on anymore
My body's calling for you
So please don't hesitate
My body's calling for you
So please don't hesitate

[Chorus: All, (AJ) & Brian]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Boys will be boys (boys will be boys)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Boys will be boys
(You oughta know by now, baby)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Boys will be boys
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Boys will be boys

Backstreet Boys

The Backstreet Boys are the most successful boy band in history, having sold over 130 million records worldwide, and with their first nine albums reaching the top 10 on the Billboard 200. Florida natives A. J. McLean, Howie Dorough, and Nick Carter, along with Kentucky transplant Kevin Richardson, were joined in a band once they attended Lou Pearlman’s auditions for a vocal group in 1992, with the group being completed by Kevin’s cousin Brian Litrell. Once took under the wing of Swedish producer Max Martin in 1995, the stage was set for global domination, attracting the lust of women and the anger of men. While the fad died down and Kevin even left for a while, the band never officially took a break or such.
