“Boosting My Ego” is about the one who didn’t want you when you wanted them, who led you on but wasn’t really interested. The guy (in this case) who has come back around now that you have moved on. It’s a tale of someone “missing the boat” and the joys of having that person coming back around again...
[Verse 1]
You used to take me out and we used to dance
Watch me all night even hold my hand
But you were never really my man
Skip a couple years and we press fast forward
You see me happy with another boy
Suddenly you lost your voice
[Pre]
Oooo
I wanted youuuu
You didn't want me tooooo
And now you're back
Oh na na no oh oh
You said you made a mistake
I'm sorry but it's too late
It's gonna be a no
But thanks for boosting my ego
[Chorus]
Boom boom back-a-back again
But you're just too slow
Boom back-a-back again
But you let me go
Boom back-a-back again
Now I know
Thanks for boosting my ego
[Verse 2]
I can't lie I was satisfied
To see that lust that's in your eyes
It's so familiar to me
[Pre]
You said you made a mistake
I'm sorry but it's too late
I'm glad you let me go
Cos at least now I know
Just what I wanted to hear
After all of these years
It's gonna be a no
But thanks for boosting my ego
[Chorus]
Boom boom back-a-back again
But you're just too slow
Boom back-a-back again
But you let me go
Boom back-a-back again
Now I know
Thanks for boosting my ego
[Middle 8]
Boom, now you're back again
Saying I'm the one who got away
Well that's how it's gonna stay
Boom boom you’re tryna make amends
Said you regret it every day
Oh well what a shame
[Pre]
You said you made a mistake
I'm sorry but it's too late
It's gonna be a no
A nooo
[Chorus]
Boom boom back-a-back again
But you're just too slow
Boom back-a-back again
But you let me go
Boom back-a-back again
Now i know
Thanks for boosting my ego
