Clare has stated that this track was inspired by Kanye West’s style (among others) and whose song “Love Lockdown” she has covered before.

[Intro]
I
I
I
I
[Verse 1]
I ask you why
Tell me why
Lord Jesus why
My, oh, my
[Pre-Chorus]
He ain’t no Man of Steel
He ain’t no Superman
Still he throws my love around
And I go back like a boomerang
[Chorus]
Boom, boom, boomerang
Boom, boom, boomerang
Boom, boom, boomerang
[Verse 2]
Now I've seen him text her twice
And both those times he lied
And still we’re riding round
Like we’re Bonnie and Clyde
[Pre-Chorus]
But he ain’t no Man of Steel
He ain’t no Superman
And he throws my love around
Still I go back like a boomerang
[Chorus]
Boom, boom, boomerang
Boom, boom, boomerang
Boom, boom, boomerang
[Verse 3]
All my mates say, “Fuck him!”
They all wish him dead
My tongue is sharp
Kicked him out of the bed
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause he ain’t no Man of Steel
He ain’t no Superman
And he throws my love around
Still I go back like a boomerang
[Chorus]
Boom, boom, boomerang
Boom, boom, boomerang
Boom, boom, boomerang
[Verse 4]
So tell me why
Why, oh why
Please tell me why
Am I with this guy?
[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause he ain’t no Man of Steel
He ain’t no Superman
And he throws my love around
So I go back like a boomerang
[Chorus]
Boom, boom, boomerang
Boom, boom, boomerang
Boom, boom, boomerang
Boomerang
[Outro]
I (Tell me why)
I (Tell me why)
I (Tell me why)
I (Tell me why)
