“It Ain’t Easy Being a Boy is right out of the Spongetones playbook. Catchy as all get-go and a sure-fire hit with power pop fans, the song is a great way to end the disc and leave people wanting more." -- Richard Rossi, Power Pop News
"Who-like It Ain’t Easy Being a Boy easily the best thing here." -- John Borack, Goldmine
Lyrics
When I first came into this world
And got my first look at a girl
It didn’t take long to understand
It ain’t easy being a boy
And all through my teenage years
They held my doubts and deepest fears
In softest silken golden hands
It ain’t easy being a boy
Girls hold the mystery the secret book of codes
Boys can’t read the signs beside the road
Girls are the riddle, leaving clues like crumbs behind
Boys blunder through the brush clueless and blind
When girls first come into this world
Slowly spinning hair uncurled
Sweetly smiling, making sure
It ain’t easy being a boy
