A
Some boys are filling,
                           F#m D
some boys are filling the hole
         A
They're making a killing at the top of the billing
           F#m             D
It's their role and that's all that they know

But some boys don't listen,
some boys don't listen at all
They don't ask for permission,
they lack inhibitions, no walls
And they get what they want

Chorus:
    F#m              Bm          D
But some boys don't know how to love

Some boys are singing, some boys
are singing the blues
Joylessly flinging with
the girls that they're bringing to their rooms
And then leave when they're through

Some boys are sleeping, some boys
are sleeping alone
'Cause there's no one that's
keeping them warm through the evening
And they know that they're on their own

Chorus:
'Cause some boys don't know how to love

A
Some boys are filling,
                          F#m  D
some boys are filling the hole
A
Some boys are sleeping,
                        F#m
some boys are sleeping alone
D                            Bm
Some boys don't know how to love
A                           F#m
Some boys don't know how to love
D                            Bm
Some boys don't know how to love
A                           F#m
Some boys don't know how to love
                             A
They won't get what they want
