[Intro]
G Em C D
G Em C D
[Verse 1]
G Em
What’s a boy to do with a ten speed bike
C D
A sidewalk ramp and the girl next door on the porch outside
G Em
What’s a boy to do, sixteen years young
C D
With a fresh ID and his daddy’s keys
Am
And she says come over boy, I’m missin you,
D Am D
Yeah, tell me what’s a boy to do
[Chorus]
G Em
When she walks into his world and flips it,
C D
Upside down, inside out, thinkin' second base and lip balm kisses
G Em
Spending all his fishin' money on drive-ins and ice cream sundaes,
C D
Kinda like the man upstairs never knew
Am D G Em C D
There’s gonna be some things only a girl can get a boy to do
[Verse 2]
G Em
What’s a boy to do with his young boy ways
C D
He grows up when he falls in love, and man that’s all it takes
G Em
Never thought he’d drop it, left knee in the livin' room,
C D
Pawn shop ring in his pocket, what’s a boy to do
[Chorus]
G Em
When she walks into his world and flips it,
C D
Upside down, inside out, thinkin' wrap-around with a picket fence and
G
Savin' all his spendin' money
Em7
Wakin' up for church on Sunday
C D
Kinda like the man upstairs never knew
Am D G
There’s gonna be some things only a girl can get a boy to do
[Guitar Solo]
G Em C D
[Bridge]
Am D
Wipin' back tears from his eyes
Am D
Lookin' at two pink lines
[Chorus]
G Em
Then she walks into his world and flips it,
C D
Upside down, inside out, thinkin' yellow bows for his little princess
G Em
Spendin' all his golfin' money on Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny
C D
Kinda like the man upstairs knew
Am D G Em C
There’s gonna be some things only a girl can get a boy to do
[Outro]
D G Em C D G
Only a girl can get a boy to do
