The Cars - Down Boys lyrics
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 boysThe Cars - Down Boys - http://motolyrics.com/the-cars/down-boys-lyrics.html
 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
