When it rains when it rains
Oh my heart don't feel the same
Nothing change nothing change
Comrade I don't feel the same
With my foot to the floor
Hear my key turn in the door
Holing back what's in store?
When a girl wants a little bit more

What's a girl like me to do?
When she don't get a thing from you
Want to know where your going to
Have to do watcha have to do
What's a girl supposed to try?
When all you do is criticise
Pretty soon you'll realise,
I can see it I can see it in a boy's eyes

See it in a boy's, see it in a boy's eyes
See it in a boy's, see it in a boy's eyes

When it rains when it rains
On my heart don't feel the same
There's the sun in my sky
You don't see you don't even try
But you'd die before you cry
Solitude is where you fly
You don't say this ain't right,
But I see it in your eyes

What's a girl like me to do?
When she don't get a thing from you
Want to know where your going to
Have to do watcha have to do
What's a girl supposed to try?
When all you do is criticise
Pretty soon you'll realise,
I can see it I can see it in a boy's eyes

See it in a boy's, see it in a boy's eyes
See it in a boy's, see it in a boy's eyes x2

La la la la la la la la la la la la x4

What's a girl like me to do?
When she don't get a thing from you
Want to know where your going to
Have to do watcha have to do
What's a girl supposed to say?
Just turn around and walk away?
Pretty soon you'll realise,
I can see it I can see it in a boy's eyes

What's a girl like me to do?
When she don't get a thing from you
Want to know where your going to
Have to do watcha have to do
What's a girl supposed to say?
Just turn around and walk away?
Pretty soon you'll realise,
I can see it I can see it in a boy's eyes

I can see it in a boy's eyes I can see it in a boy's eyes
See it in a boy's see it in a boys eyes
