Down Boys

Down Boys - The Cars

You were tryin' to be cute

And it didn't work out

You were tryin' to be charmin'

And it didn't come off

You were tryin' to be clever

A big waste of time

You were tryin' to get rough

But you're waitin' in line

You can't make it with the down boys

They don't hear a word you say

You can't make it with the down boys

Just stay out of their way

You were tryin' to be sharp

But they couldn't wait

You were tryin' to be eternal

But that didn't rate

You were tryin' to be smooth

You're rough on the edges

You were tryin' to be hysterical

And I still ain't laughin'

You can't make it with the down boys

They don't hear a word you say

You can't make it with the down boys

Just stay out of their way

You were tryin' to be in

But they left you out

You were tryin' to be in

Two different worlds

You were tryin' to be in

Oscillation in shame

You were tryin' to be in

But you're lost in the game

You can't make it with the down boys

They don't hear a word you say

You can't make it with the down boys

Just stay out of their way

Stay out of their way

Out of their way

You can't make it with the down boys

They don't hear a word you say

You can't make it with the down boys

Just stay out of their way
