Boys Like You (feat. Gossling)

Ayo, I mean it, I mean it, I ain't trying to play around

I need it, I need it, you can probably see it

You'll probably think I'm going to rip your heart to pieces

Get you in the sheets, and hit it up and leave you

Believe it, believe me, you are gonna say

My reputation precedes me, but you gotta be fair

Though you might've heard about the numbers that I sleep with

That's not all I am, but at least there ain't no secrets

Now, Mama always told me, Papa always warned me

Don't hang around boys like you

Teacher always told me never to be naughty

Don't mess around with boys like you

If I had have listened, wouldn't be in this position

If I had have listened, wouldn't be in this position

If I had have listened, wouldn't be in this position

If I had have listened, wouldn't be in this position with you

Ayo, you've heard about me, right?

You're knowin' that my rep's renowned

Your friends will tell you, "Stay away", because I've slept around

That's how it works though, the word'll get around

Back in the day, it didn't phase me, though

But lately, it has kept me down

And yo, I brought it on myself, but I ain't mad about it

I kept count, but why the fuck did I brag about it?

But I'll admit it, though, my rep is deserved

But I'll be real, I want to kill it though

'Cause having that rep is a curse

My last girl cheated on me with a close friend

That's two relationships, I had to watch 'em both end

But see, it messed with me, the two people I trusted most

I could shrug it off on drunkenness, but fuck 'em both

See, that switched something inside of me

A beast came alive in me

And started just eating away the pride in me

Because we're known to make mistakes

And I've grown to make a change

I was different back then, but now, I ain't the same

Now, Mama always told me, Papa always warned me

Don't hang around boys like you

Teacher always told me never to be naughty

Don't mess around with boys like you

If I had have listened, wouldn't be in this position

If I had have listened, wouldn't be in this position

If I had have listened, wouldn't be in this position

If I had have listened, wouldn't be in this position with you

Ayo, I mean it, I mean it, I ain't trying to play around

I need it, I need it, you can probably see it

You'll probably think I'm going to rip your heart to pieces

Get you in the sheets, and hit it up and leave you

Believe it, believe me, you are gonna say

My reputation precedes me, but you gotta be fair

Though you might've heard about the numbers that I sleep with

Yeah, that might be true, but it's you I want to be with

Now, Mama always told me, Papa always warned me

Don't hang around boys like you

Teacher always told me never to be naughty

Don't mess around with boys like you

If I had have listened, wouldn't be in this position

If I had have listened, wouldn't be in this position

If I had have listened, wouldn't be in this position

If I had have listened, wouldn't be in this position with you
