lyrics

BOYFRIENDS
1-Recently my love affairs, they haven't gone too great
I can't believe sometimes they call and ask me for a date
What's a girl to do? I guess the circus is in town

2-Pretty boys got no heart, they only want to play
Ugly ones feel too much, they give themselves away
What's a girl to do? I guess it's gonna be a while
(chorus)
And who needs boyfriends?
Who needs boyfriends?
Boyfriends really bring you down, they use you up Who needs boyfriends?
Who needs boyfriends?
They come in the night then they leave you uptight,
those boyfriends

3- Yuppie guys think it’s cool to throw their cash around
But talking 'bout the stock exchange brings my interest down
What's a girl to do? I feel depression coming on
(chorus)
And who needs boyfriends? etc.
The older I get, the more I regret boyfriends
(bridge)
I remember how it used to be, when he’s in love with me
It wasn’t such a mess, but I could be wrong
(repeat chorus)
Who needs boyfriends?
