You're just a boy, baby, what did I expect?
Ain't got no fuckin' respect? Oh, no, yeah
Met you at a party last week
Caught you staring at me
You were tryna keep it low key
I thought it was kinda sweet
Then I got to know you, saw the games you were playing
'Cause the things you were doin' didn't match, oh, no, no oh, no
Don't know why you did it, got me in a situation
Guess you're good at hiding ulterior motivation, oh, no, oh, no
And baby, you're disposable
I would rather be alone
Than have to deal with you one more time, one more time
And I know that you think you know
What I'm thinking, but you don't
Think I'm trippin' 'bout you, I'm fine
You're just a boy, baby, what did I expect?
Ain't got no fuckin' respect, oh, no, yeah
Trust me, boy, I'm the best you'll ever get
But you said you're through with it, oh, no, yeah
I hate to be the one to tell you, but
You're just another one of them dudes, yeah
Walking 'round like you're so cool, think
Everybody cares what you do
Well let me tell you something, I don't wanna sound bitchy
I can guarantee when I'm gone that you'll miss me, oh no, oh no
I thought you were different but I've never been so wrong
Got you figured out, don't know why it took me so long, oh no, oh no
And baby, you're disposable
I would rather be alone
Than have to deal with you one more time, one more time
And I know that you think you know
What I'm thinking, but you don't
Think I'm trippin' 'bout you, I'm fine
You're just a boy, baby, what did I expect?
Ain't got no fuckin' respect, oh, no, yeah
Trust me, boy, I'm the best you'll ever get
But you said you're through with it, oh, no, yeah
You're just a boy, you're just a boy
You're just a boy, caught you starin' at me
You're just a boy, you were tryna keep it low key
You're just a boy, I thought it was kinda sweet
You're just a boy, I need a man though, need a man though
You're just a boy, baby, what did I expect?
Think I know fuckin' respect, oh, no, yeah
(Think I know respect, oh)
Trust me boy, I'm the best you'll ever get
(I'm the best you'll ever get)
But you said you're through with it, oh, no, yeah
Did I?
You're just a boy, you're just a boy (a boy)
You're just a boy, you're just a boy
You're just a boy, you wake up, no respect
You're just a boy, but what did I expect?
