Lyrics

You Can Make Him Like You

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You don't have to deal with the dealers

Let your boyfriend deal with the dealers

It only gets inconvenient

When you wanna get high alone

You don't have to know how to get home

Let your boyfriend tell the driver the best way to go,

It only gets kinda weird when you wanna go home alone,

You don't have to know the inspiring people

Let your boyfriend know the inspiring people

You can hang in the kitchen

Talk about the stars in the upcoming sequel

If you get tired of your boyfriend's things

There's always other boys,

There's always other boyfriends

If you get tired of your boyfriend's scene

There's always other scenes

There's always other boyfriends

You don't have to deal with the dealers

Let your boyfriend deal with the dealers

It only gets inconvenient

When you wanna get high alone

You don't have to go to the right kind of schools,

Let your boyfriend come from the right kind of school

You can wear his old sweatshirt

You can cover yourself like a bruise

But if you get tired of your boyfriend's things

There's always other boys

There's always other boyfriends

If you get tired of your football pranks

There's always other boys

There's always other boyfriends

If you get tired of the car he drives,

There's always other boys

And you can make him like you

If you get tired of the music he likes

There's always other boys

And you can make him like you

They say you don't have a problem

Untill you start to do it alone

They say you don't have a problem

Untill you start bringing it home

They say you don't have a problem

Untill you start sleeping alone

There's always other boys

There's always other boyfriends

There's always other boys

And you can make him like you

There's always other boys

There's always other boyfriends

There's always other boys

And you can make him like you

There's always other boys

There's always other boyfriends

There's always other boys

And you can make him like you

There's always other boys

There's always other boyfriends

There's always other boys

And you can make him like you
