That's the Way Boys Are" was 17-year-old Lesley Gore's fifth consecutive Top 20 hit, though it broke her string of Top Ten hits. Of course, in between the release of her previous single, "You Don't Own Me," in the fall of 1963, and the appearance of "That's the Way Boys Are" in the late winter of 1964, the British Invasion had begun. Arranger/conductor Claus Ogermann and producer Quincy Jones gave it a bouncy, contemporary sound that compared favorably to the Phil Spector Wall of Sound style without being as ornamented. No one seems to have recorded it since, but it remains one of Gore's major hits and an attractive example of mid-'60s pop music.

But before she knows it there I am standing at her door;/Well, she lets me kiss her then, /'Cause she knows I want her back.
That's the Way Boys Are" is a song written by Mark Barkan and Ben Raleigh and initially sung by Lesley Gore and released in 1964 as a single and on Gore's 3rd album Boys, Boys, Boys. The single reached on the Billboard Hot 100, being kept out of the top 10 by songs by British Invasion bands The Beatles and The Dave Clark Five. The song was produced by Quincy Jones and arranged by Claus Ogerman.
