When I was just a little girl
I lived in a solitary world
With just my dolls for company
I had no friends to play with me

I said one day
"Mama, please, I want to play
Don't make me stay,
Stay in on a sunny day"

I don't need no toys
(No toys)
I want to play with boys

(Want to play
Want to play with boys)
Play with boys
(Play with boys
Want to play
Want to play with boys)
Play with boys

She said, "You're not old enough
Don't you know that little boys play rough
They might tease you and make you cry
Now be a good girl, stay inside"

I said again
"Mama, please, I got to play
Don't make me stay
I promise I won't run away"

I don't need no toys
(No toys)
I want to play with boys

(Want to play
Want to play with boys)
Play with boys
(Play with boys)
Play with boys
(Want to play
Want to play with boys)
Play with boys
(Play with boys)

Then I turned sixteen
Old enough for boys to play with me
Got to escape
Tiptoed through the garden gate

I don't need no toys
(No toys)
'Cause now I'm playing with the boys
(Playing with the boys)
I don't need no toys
I play with boys

(Want to play
Want to play with boys)
Play with boys
(Play with boys)
Boy
(Want to play
Want to play with boys)
Play with boys
(Want to play with boys)

(Want to play
Want to play with boys
Play with boys
Want to play
Want to play with boys
Want to play with boys
Want to play
Want to play with boys
Play with boys
Want to play
Want to play with boys
Want to play with boys
Want to play
Want to play with boys
Play with boys
Want to play
Want to play with boys
Want to play with boys
Want to play
Want to play with boys).
