Lyrics

[Intro]

You're just a boy, baby, what did I expect?

Ain't got no **** respect? Oh, no, yeah

[Verse 1]

Met you at a party last week

Caught you staring at me

You were tryna keep it lowkey

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 with what you're sayin'

Oh, no, no, oh, no

Don't know how you did it, got me in a situation

Guess you're good at hiding ulterior motivation

Oh, no, oh, no

[PreChorus]

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

[Chorus]

You're just a boy, baby, what did I expect?

Ain't got no **** respect, oh, no, yeah

Trust me, boy, I'm the best you'll ever get

Aren't you sad you ruined it? Oh, no

[Verse 2]

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 icky

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

[PreChorus]

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

I'm fine, yeah

[Chorus]

You're just a boy, baby, what did I expect?

Ain't got no **** respect, oh, no, yeah

Trust me, boy, I'm the best you'll ever get

Aren't you sad you ruined it? Oh, no, yeah

[Bridge]

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 lowkey

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

[Chorus]

You're just a boy, baby, what did I expect?

Ain't got no **** respect, oh, no, yeah

Ain't go no respect, no

Trust me, boy, I'm the best you'll ever get

I'm the best you'll ever get, no

Aren't you sad you ruined it? Oh, no, yeah

Did I expect?

[Outro]

You're just a boy, you're just a boy

You're just a boy, you're just a boy

You're just a boy, you ain't got no respect

You're just a boy, but what did I expect?
