[Verse 1: Jesy, All]
Do you remember what he said?
I do, he told you he’d never, ever hurt you
Oh, here we go again
Another break up, make up, when you gonna wake up?
[Pre-Chorus: Leigh-Anne, Jade, Perrie, All]
I'm gon' be the one to call him out
Look how many times he let you down
When's he gonna learn to be a real ma-a-yeah-an?
I'll be the one to say you're beautiful
One more word he never said at all
I'm just saying you need to go
[Chorus: Perrie, All, Jade & Leigh-Anne]
Forget that boy, forget that boy
I know a bad boy ain't good enough for you
You're holding back tears in your eyes
Bad boy wanna fight, but I've never seen him fighting for you
He'll never realise what he's got until it's gone
And he'll lose you forever
Girl, you'll be alright
Forget that boy
[Verse 2: Jade, All]
Girl, don't you know you set the tone?
I'll make you stop that, fight back, he won't get away with that
Look who's ringing up your phone
You wanna call back? Leave that, ain't nobody got time for that
[Pre-Chorus: Leigh-Anne, All]
It's funny how the tables turn
When he's the one who's left at home
You'll find your own real man and go
[Chorus: Perrie, All, Leigh-Anne, Jade & Leigh-Anne]
Forget that boy, forget that boy
I know a bad boy ain't good enough for you
You're holding back tears in your eyes
Bad boy wanna fight, but I've never seen him fighting for you (Oh, oh)
He'll never realise what he's got until it's gone
And he'll lose you forever
Girl, you'll be alright
Forget that boy
[Bridge: (Jesy Beatboxing), Perrie, Leigh-Anne, Jade, Jesy]
See what you're worth, girl, look what you got
He knows you're out of his league, if he likes it or not
I know what you're worth, girl, you know what you got (Yeah)
We know you're out of his league, if he likes it or not (Likes it or not)
Ah, ah, oh, yeah, ahh
[Chorus: All, Perrie, Leigh-Anne, Jade, *Jade & Leigh-Anne*]
Forget that boy (Boy), forget that boy
I know a bad boy ain't good enough for you (Yeah, hey)
You're holding back tears in your eyes (Your eyes)
Bad boy wanna fight, but I've never seen him fighting for you (I've never seen him fighting for you)
He'll never realise what he's got until it's gone
*And he'll lose you forever*
Girl, you'll be alright
Forget that boy (That boy, that boy)
[Outro: Perrie, Jesy, All]
I know what you're worth, girl, you know what you got
We know you're out of his league, if you likes it or not (Likes it or not)
Girl, you'll be alright
Forget that boy
Oh, yeah

Jade Thirlwall:
It kind of was, originally, an acapella. And then obviously, as usual, A&Rs at labels wanted to put production on it. We were like, “No! Don’t touch it, it’s good enough as it is. It shows off all the vocals and the harmonies. It’s a real moment on the record to just show the vo...
Even when we had “Boy”, it started off with a piano and then we wanted to make it acapella and instead of just having voices we started adding [vocal] sound effects, all in the background – every little detail really makes it sound fuller. I think we’re really good at stuff like that, if you know wh...
