Songtext Boy Maisie Peters

Boy

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
And love is something that you'll never be
It got progressively
Harder to miss you
And you should take this personally, mmm

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 terrible reason
Shh, now is not the time to reply

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
And I can tell that you've never been hugged boy
And I can do better than this, oh 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
(La la la la la la la la la la la la la)
I can do better than, I can do better than this

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
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

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

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
And I can tell that you've never been hugged boy
And I can do better than this, oh 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
(La la la la la la la la la la la la la)

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

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
And I can tell that you've never been hugged boy
And I can do better than this, oh 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
(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)
Better than you, better than you, better than this
(La la la la la la la la la la la la la)
Better than you, better than you, better than this
Boy
