Boyish Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Your boyish reassurance is not reassuring
And I need it
And all of my devotion turns violent
If you go to her, don't expect to come home to me

So here we are, we're just two losers
I want you and you want something more beautiful
[Verse 2]

And all this confrontation, this suffering
What do you want from me?
If you don't like how I look, then leave
[Chorus]
I can't get you off my mind
You can't get yours off the hostess
Watched her lips reserving tables
As my ugly mouth kept running
[Outro]
Love me
Love me
