Boys Like You - Dodie

Hold my head a little higher

Can’t you tell I love a liar?

I know what I look like to you

I would say it’s excessive

Or maybe damn impressive

I’ll admit I’m confused

I’ve gotta remember

That I’m just a toy

'Til you got my hopes up

And now I’m annoyed

You thought you could charm me

And, damn it, you’re right

So watch me fall for every damn stereotype

You can’t help it

This is just how we were taught to love

Oh, there’s a name for boys like you

And yet I feel lucky to hear all your lines

I hate that they shake me up every time

Hold my hand for just a second

See you soon, what do we reckon?

Maybe I’m not just a friend

But we’re so close, I thought we’d kiss

Turns out you’re just good at this

But how 'bout you do it again?

Oh no, I gotta remember

That I’m just a toy

'Til you got my hopes up

And now I’m annoyed

You thought you could charm me

And, damn it, you’re right

So watch me fall for every damn stereotype

You can’t help it

This is just how we were taught to love

Oh, there’s a name for boys like you

And yet I feel lucky to hear all your lines

I hate that they shake me up every time

Guess I’ll take it

This is just how we were taught to love

Oh, there’s a name for boys like you

And yet I feel lucky to hear all your lines

I hate that they shake me up every time

They tell me, «Don't go there

We know you love a nightmare

There’s more than a crush here

Why aim to be crushed here?»

They tell me, «Don't go there

We know you love a nightmare

There’s more than a crush here

Why aim to be crushed here?»

Oh, there’s a name for boys like you

(They tell me, «Don't go there

We know you love a nightmare

There’s more than a crush here

Why aim to be crushed here?»

They tell me, «Don't go there

We know you love a nightmare

There’s more than a crush here

Why aim to—»)

You can’t help it

This is just how we were taught to love

Oh, there’s a name for boys like you

And yet I feel lucky to hear all your lines

I hate that they shake me up every time

Guess I’ll take it

This is just how we were taught to love
