Here's what he'll do: He'll play it cool

When he hangs out with a woman like you

Say he's impressed of all your success

Tell you he's different than all of the rest

You're gonna give it all and give it all

But you won't get it back

I'm tellin' you it's gonna hurt

Stay away from a boy like that

He wants a breadwinner

He wants your dinner until

He ain't hungry anymore

He wants your shimmer in me

And feel bigger until

He starts feeling insecure

I wish somebody would've told me the truth

Say he's never gonna know what to do

With a woman like you, with a woman like you

I see the games, a mile away

They're only in when another heart breaks

But all of his wounds ain't an excuse

For you to put up with how he treats you

You're gonna give it all and give it all

But you won't get it back

I'm tellin' you it's gonna hurt

Stay away from a boy like that

He wants a breadwinner

He wants your dinner until

He ain't hungry anymore

He wants your shimmer in me

And feel bigger until

He starts feeling insecure

I wish somebody would've told me the truth

Say he's never gonna know what to do

With a woman like you, with a woman like you

I can sleep at night

Knowing that I really tried

I put in the time

But the fault isn't mine

That he wants a breadwinner

He wants your dinner until

He ain't hungry anymore (anymore)

He wants a breadwinner

He wants your dinner until

He ain't hungry anymore (anymore)

He wants your shimmer in me

And feel bigger until

He starts feeling insecure

I wish somebody would've told me the truth

Say he's never gonna know what to do

With a woman like you, with a woman like you

With a woman like you and me

He likes what he sees
