Think Outside the Boy - LaUren ALaina

Sweet sixteen’s a beautiful thing for the small town hopes

And big city dreams

Your diary’s filled with getaway plans

Then he sweeps in

And just like that

You’re rewriting your story for him

All your wishes are gone with the wind

Well, if you think that he’s all that there is

Think outside the boy

Look right past his charm

He’s not your definition

No, he ain’t who you are

If you don’t love yourself

You sure ain’t gonna help

There’s so much more to life than living like his wind-up toy

Think outside the boy, ooh

Think outside the boy

Well, I’ve been there, yeah

I believed that he was my forever

He was all I’d ever need

But I gave up what I wanted

And I gave him control

I lost myself in a deep, dark hole

I’m here to tell you that it’s never too late

To cut the strings and to take back your fate

You found yourself again along the way

Just think outside the boy

Look right past his charm

He’s not your definition

No, he ain’t who you are

If you don’t love yourself

You sure ain’t gonna help

There’s so much more to life than living like his wind-up toy

Oh, when the right one comes along

He won’t make you choose

When the right one comes along

He’ll love that you think outside the boy, oh

Think outside the boy

If you don’t love yourself

You sure ain’t gonna help

There’s so much more to life than living like his wind-up toy

Think outside the boy, ooh

Think outside the boy
