Artist/Band: The Cars
Lyrics for Song: Down Boys
Lyrics for Album: Panorama [1980]



you were tryin' to be cute

and it didn't work out

you were tryin' to be charming

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 waiting 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

uh just stay out of their way



you were trying to be sharp

but they couldn't wait

you were trying to be eternal

but uh 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

uh 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 yelp

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

uh just stay out of their way

stay out of their way

out of their way



you can't make it with the down boys

uh they don't hear a word you say

you can't make it with the down boys

just stay out of their way
