Somewhere out in the heart of Suburbia
Flinching from the words
That could almost murder her
Listen, it's the final day

Whatever boys say
Girls don't cry
Whatever boys say
Girls don't cry

She's wearin' plaid and jeans
Like a workman on the road
Hitchin' out west
With a personal stereo
Playin' "Lay, lady, lay"

Whatever boys say
Girls don't cry
Whatever boys say
Girls don't cry

In her heart she's not even a renegade
From the start she knew
Why she would not be saved
All her instincts lead a different way

In the pocket by her heart
Is a dog-eared Polaroid
A picture of a girl with her arm 'round a boy
Who went missing the final day

Whatever boys say
Girls don't cry
Whatever boys say
Girls don't cry

Whatever boys say
(I don't care what they say)
Girls don't cry
Whatever boys say
(I don't care what they say)
Girls don't cry
