[Intro: emlyn]
(B-build a, b-build a, b-build a boy)
(B-build a, b-build a, b-build a boy)
[Verse 1: emlyn]
I'd take Noah's heart, let him keep his body
Nick, I'd take his brain so his love can't haunt me
Only taking Daniel's eyes
He can keep his hands though now
So they can't touch me to say they're "Sorry"
[Pre-Chorus: emlyn]
Furiously searching for the perfect fucking guy
He doesn't exist but, God, imagine my design
[Chorus: emlyn]
If I could build a boy, I'd hit a full 180º
Build a boy, not a baby
Build a boy, that wouldn't call me crazy
If I had a choice, I'd build a boy
I'd make him so amazing
Build a boy, not a baby
Fill the void of all the ones who drained me
If I had a choice, pick a toy, I would build a boy
[Verse 2: Cloudy June]
I'd keep Aaron's soul, but I'd cut the ego
Give him Mary's eyes and John's physique, yeah
I'll make him know my body like Diana
He would be so pretty make it hard for me to breathe
[Pre-Chorus: emlyn, Cloudy June]
Furiously searching for the perfect fucking guy
He doesn't exist but, God imagine my design
[Chorus: emlyn, Cloudy June, both]
If I could build a boy, I'd hit a full 180º
Build a boy, not a baby
Build a boy, that wouldn't call me crazy
If I had a choice, I'd build a boy
I'd make him so amazing
Build a boy, not a baby
Fill the void of all the ones who drained me
If I had a choice, pick a toy, I would build a boy
[Post-Chorus: emlyn]
B-build a, b-build a, b-build a boy
B-build a, b-build a, b-build a boy
B-build a, b-build a, b-build a boy
B-build a, b-build a, b-build a boy
[Bridge: emlyn]
Every time I wonder why he's perfect then he hurts me
Then I find another guy who just doesn't deserve me
Disappointed, scared to death I'll never find my match
Why get mad when I could build another one from scratch? (No)
[Chorus: emlyn]
If I could build a boy, I'd hit a full 180º
Build a boy, not a baby
Build a boy, that wouldn't call me crazy
If I had a choice (If I had a choice), I'd build a boy
I'd make him so amazing (Woah)
Build a boy, not a baby
Fill the void of all the ones who drained me (Boy)
(Woah) If I had a choice, pick a toy, I would build a boy
[Post-Chorus: emlyn]
B-build a, b-build a, b-build a boy (Woah)
B-build a, b-build a, b-build a boy (Woah)
B-build a, b-build a, b-build a boy (Woah)
B-build a, b-build a, b-build a boy
