Boys Like You
Cut back, rewind
Gotta play the replay in my mind
It's a little fuzzy but I think I can make you out
Look, it's me standing there with my diary
Hiding the evidence that I wrote down in period three
Could this be the moment that I have been dreaming about?
But then she's there too in pink and blue
I guess all the stars align for you
And I'll take all my heart, break and swallow it down
They can never find out
All my life I've been hiding myself
Just waiting for a boy like you
Running home from the bus stop
Crying over stupid words from boys like you
Not answering the questions in math class
'Cause I answer them before boys like you
Promise myself when I'm older and brave
I will never love a boy like you
"I'll never love again"
That's what I said
When I ran home and told my mum in 1997
I still remember the look on her face
She said, "Boys like that should be in second place
I know it hurts right now, one day you'll realise
There's no need to hide yourself from the world"
All my life I've been hiding myself
Just waiting for a boy like you
Running home from the bus stop
Crying over stupid words from boys like you (there's no need to hide)
Not answering the questions in math class
'Cause I answer them before boys like you (there's no need to hide)
Promise myself when I'm older and brave
I will never love a boy like you (there's no need to hide)
All my life I've been hiding myself
Just waiting for a boy like you (there's no need to hide)
Running home from the bus stop
Crying over stupid words from boys like you (there's no need to hide)
Not answering the questions in math class
'Cause I answer them before boys like you (there's no need to hide)
Promise myself when I'm older and brave
I will never love a boy like you (there's no need to hide)
All my life I've been hiding myself
Just waiting for a boy like you (boy, boy, boy)
Running home from the bus stop
Crying over stupid words from boys like you (boy, boy, boy)
Not answering the questions in math class
'Cause I answer them before boys like you (boy, boy, boy)
Promise myself when I'm older and brave
I will never love a boy like you (boy, boy, boy, boy, boy)
(Boy, boy, boy, boy, boy)
Gotta play the replay in my mind
It's a little fuzzy but I think I can make you out
Look, it's me standing there with my diary
Hiding the evidence that I wrote down in period three

But then she's there too in pink and blue

All my life I've been hiding myself
Just waiting for a boy like you
Running home from the bus stop
Crying over stupid words from boys like you
