i got the boy

I don't know a lot about you
But I know you took my spot
And I genuinely hope he's what you want
'Cause he's a lot different at 28
Than he was at 21, they say

One woman's trash is another woman's treasure
But he learned a lot, I swear to God he's gonna treat you better

I bet he loves you proudly, bet he understands
I bet he knows his own boundaries and draws them in the sand
So when he lets his feelings show and you don't have to hold his hand
It's 'cause I got the boy so you got the man

I got the boy and you got the man
And I got the boy

I bet he takes (oh yeah) his coffee more bitter
But when he makes a promise, he delivers
So you won't break like I did
Knowing that he ran away
Yeah, now I know it's from the pain when they say

One woman's trash is another woman's treasure
(Doesn't mean she didn't get hurt) yeah
But he learned a lot, I swear to god he's gonna treat you better (no, no)

I bet he loves you proudly, bet he understands (bet he understands)
I bet he knows his own boundaries (oh) and draws them in the sand
So when he lets his feelings show and you don't have to hold his hand
It's 'cause I got the boy so you got the man

I got the boy and you got the man (oh)

And you don't wanna learn the truth of it
That the one you love belonged to someone else
Just tryna make it fit even though they got it wrong
And I'll try to come to peace with it
Knowing that he'll learn his lesson when I'm gone
Or when I've moved on

I bet he loves you proudly (he loves you proudly)
Bet he understands (and he understands)
I bet he knows his own boundaries and draws them in the sand
(Oh) so when he lets his feelings (lets his feelings) show
You don't have to hold his hand (you don't)
It's 'cause I got the boy so you got the man (I got the boy, I got the boy)

I got the boy and you got the man

But I taught the boy to act like a man
Yeah, I got the boy so you can have that man (that man)
And now he's your man
Ooh-oh (oh), no, no
Yeah, you got the man
