[Verse 1]
Oh, I can't do this anymore
I don't wanna get involved, no
With all these men I'm so much better than
Maybe it's a little cold
But I think I could play the role 'cause
No one can love me the way I can
Catch me out in Paris on my ones
Stay up dancing 'til the dance is done
I got me, I don't need anyone (I don't need anyone)
[Chorus]
Hold me close
Love myself the most
Lately, I've been just what I need
Stole my heart and I'm gonna be my own boyfriend
Be my own boyfriend
Lately, I've been just what I need
Be my baby, yeah
Gonna bе my own boyfriend
[Verse 2]
Oh, I could save myself thе stress

You and me could be the best
I can do whatever whenever the fuck I want
[Chorus]
Hold me close
Love myself the most
Lately, I've been just what I need
Stole my heart and I'm gonna be my own boyfriend
Be my own boyfriend
Lately, I've been just what I need
Be my baby, yeah
Gonna be my own boyfriend
[Post-Chorus]
Be my own boyfriend
Be my own boyfriend
Be my own boyfriend
[Outro]
I'm gonna be my own boyfriend
Be my own boyfriend (Be my own boyfriend)
Lately, I've been just what I need
Be my baby, yeah
Gonna be my own boyfriend
