BOY

I got this girls tryna lock me down
And I always up and leave
But for the first time in a while
I wanna throw away the key
And I know you've been in
A couple more relationships than me
'Cause you talk a different talk
And you kiss me differently
Now I don't know where to go
After you left me this way
After you love me so good
How were you gonna tell me you don't wanna stay?
You're tellin' me I'm too young, but
I gave you what you wanted
Baby, how do you treat me just like
Like a boy
You won't wake up beside me
'Cause I was born in the '90s
Baby, how do you treat me just like
Like a boy, don't treat me like
Boy, don't treat me like
Boy
You told me you needed a perfect guy
That'll make your parents proud
Guess you still ain't found him yet (why?)
'Cause we're still messin' around
And now you watch me put in all this work
Just to say it won't work out
You never took me seriously
Now what the hell is that about?
Now I don't know where to go
(After you left me this)
After you left me this way
(After you love me so)
After you love me so good
How were you gonna tell me you don't wanna stay?
You're tellin' me I'm too young, but
I gave you what you wanted
Baby, how do you treat me just like
Like a boy
You won't wake up beside me
'Cause I was born in the '90s
Baby, how do you treat me just like
Like a boy, don't treat me like
Boy, don't treat me like
Boy
Baby don't you treat me like a boy
Boy, don't treat me like
Boy, don't treat me like
Boy
You're tellin' me I'm too young, but
I gave you what you wanted
Baby, how do you treat me just like
Like a boy
You won't wake up beside me
'Cause I was born in the '90s
Baby, how dare you treat me just like
Like a boy, don't treat me like
Boy, don't treat me like
Boy
Baby don't you treat me like a boy
Boy, don't treat me like
Boy, don't treat me like
Boy
Just like, like a boy
Just like, like a boy
