About Boys

"Boys" is a song recorded by American singer Britney Spears for her third studio album, Britney (2001). It was written and produced by Chad Hugo and Pharrell Williams (known collectively as The Neptunes). A version of the song, entitled "The Co-Ed Remix", was released as the sixth and final single from Britney on July 29, 2002. The new version also served as the second single from the soundtrack of Austin Powers in Goldmember. "Boys" is a R&B and hip hop song, including funk influences. The remix carries a slower tempo than the album version, and both versions are noted to be reminiscent of Janet Jackson. Some critics praised Williams and Spears' chemistry, as well as the production on the track, while others did not think the song worked well. While the song did not perform well on the Billboard charts in the United States, it reached the top ten on the Belgian charts and in Ireland and the United Kingdom, and charted in the top 20 in Australia, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Sweden, Finland, and Denmark. The song would later be certified Gold in Australia. The song's accompanying music video, directed by Dave Meyers, was nominated at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards for "Best Video from a Film." The clip features Spears and Williams at a party. The singer has performed "Boys" a number of times including at the 2002 NBA All-Star Game, on Saturday Night Live, and on several of her concert tours. more »

For whatever reason
I feel like I've been wanting you all my life
You don't understand
I'm so glad we're at the same place at the same time
It's over now

I spotted you dancin'
You made all the girls stare
Those lips and your brown eyes (oooh)
And the sexy hair
I should shake my thang (ooh)
Make the world want you (ha ha ha)
Tell your boys you'll be back
I wanna see what you can do (uh)

What would it take for you to just leave with me?
Not trying to sound conceited but
You and me were meant to be (yeah yeah)
You're a sexy guy, I'm a nice girl (uh)
Let's turn this dance floor into our own little nasty world

Boys
Sometimes a girl just needs one (you know I need you)
Boys
To love her and to hold (I just want you to touch me)
Boys
And when a girl is with one (hmmm)
Boys
Then she's in control

Pull the girl off the dance floor
Whisper in ear
Must've said somethin' bout me (what you say)
Cos now she's lookin' over here
You lookin' at me (he he he)
With that sexy attitude
But the way your girls movin' it (uh)
It puts me in the mood
(Ow)

What would it take for you to just leave with me?
Not trying to sound conceited
But meeting you was destiny
I'm from N.E.R.D, aren't you Britney? (Don't you know?)
Let's turn this dance floor into our own little nasty thing (get nasty)

Girls
I can't speak for no one (I get nasty)
Girls
But I need her all the time (it's just me and you baby)
Girls
I don't know 'bout your girl
Girls
But I know she's on your mind (get nasty)

Boys
Sometimes a girl just needs one (I get nasty)

Boys
To love her and to hold (I get nasty)
Boys
And when a girl is with one (I get nasty)
Boys
Then she's in control
You like that
Here we go

Have no Fear
Baby what you waiting for?
Uh-huh
Let me see what you can do

Boys
Sometimes a girl just needs one (ooh)
Boys
(I like that)
To love her and to hold (the way you move)
Boys
And when a girl is with one (it's gonna turn me on)
Boys
Then she's in control (ooh)

Girls
I can't speak for no one (I get nasty)
Girls
But I need her all the time (it's just me and you baby)
Girls
I don't know 'bout your girl
Girls
But I know she's on your mind (get nasty)

Boys
Girls (ow)
