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
