[Intro]
Ooh!
[Verse 1]
I heard you had a lot of therapy
When you were seventeen
For your anger issues
If I had a pound for every hole
I saw punched in a wall
I'd be a rich girl
In love is something that you'll never be
It got progressively harder to miss you
And you should take this personally
Hmm
[Pre-Chorus]
You're a serial cheater
"You up?" text repeater
When I told you you were funny I lied
You're a 'love 'em and leave 'em with a tеrrible reason
Shh, now is not the timе to reply
[Chorus]
Boy, you think I'm dumb, tryna pull one on me like I've never been kissed
You had a couple of exes and I know that they let you get away with it
But you're a...
Boy (Hmm-hmm-hmm)
And I can tell that you've never been hugged, boy (Hmm-hmm-hmm)
And I can do better than this
Oh, better than this
[Post-Chorus]
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
I can do better than
I can do better than this (Hey)
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
I can do better than
I can do better than this
[Verse 2]
You said I'd meet your friends eventually
When you're ready to be
A little more exclusive
If I was the last girl on earth
You'd still be weighing up your options
Mmm
You said you got a lot of enemies
And you claim your dreams are always lucid
But you're just high and can't tell the difference
[Pre-Chorus]
She tries to get closer
So you go and ghost her
Like it's perpetual Halloween
You're obsessed with your father
Red flag and a half, yeah
Babe, we could unpack it for weeks
[Chorus]
Boy, you think I'm dumb, tryna pull one on me like I've never been kissed
You had a couple of exes and I know that they let you get away with it
But you're a...
Boy (Hmm-hmm-hmm)
And I can tell that you've never been hugged, boy (Hmm-hmm-hmm)
And I can do better than this
Oh, better than this
[Post-Chorus]
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
I can do better than
I can do better than this
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
[Bridge]
You're kinda sociopathic
I nearly buried the hatchet
Then I remembered how you messed with my head
I could be a grown-up
But, baby, you know what?
Maybe I'll release this song instead
[Chorus]
Boy, you think I'm dumb
Tryna pull one on me like I've never been kissed
You had a couple of exes and I know that they let you get away with it
But you're a...
Boy (Hmm-hmm-hmm)
And I can tell that you've never been hugged, boy (Boy)
And I can do better than this
Oh, better than this
[Post-Chorus]
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
I can do better than
I can do better than this
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
I can do better than
I can do better than this
[Outro]
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
Better than who?
Better than you
Better than this
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
Better than who?
Better than you
Better than this
Boy
Boy was written by Joe Rubel & Ed Sheeran & Maisie Peters.
Maisie Peters released Boy on Fri Aug 27 2021.
[Producer and songwriter] Joe Rubel, Ed Sheeran and I had written “Hollow” then had dinner. Afterwards, I was like, ‘Let’s write another song.’ Everyone had been drinking wine, so it was a fun vibe, and we ended up talking about fuckboys and softboys and I was educating the boys on the differences....
