Lyrics
There was a boy
Introduction of a boy
He made me feel special
Expressing the boy's ability to make the speaker feel special
Made me feel loved
Highlighting the boy's actions in making the speaker feel loved
He'd do anything
Describing the boy's determination to achieve his desires
Just to get what he wants
Pointing out the boy's willingness to go to any extent for his goals
And butter me up
Describing the boy's use of flattery
And it would work sometimes
Noting that the flattery sometimes influences the speaker
Depending on my
Dependence on the speaker's state of mind for the effectiveness of flattery
State of mind
Questioning the credibility of the boy's actions
How could I really believe
Raising doubts about believing in the boy's words
In all his lies
Expressing skepticism about the truthfulness of the boy's statements
Don't say these sweet things
Advising against uttering sweet things without sincerity
If you never mean it
Warning against letting someone into the speaker's thoughts without genuine intentions
I can't let you in my head
Refusing to allow the boy into the speaker's mind
'Cause I might believe it
Fearing potential belief in insincere words
I'll think about it all day long
Contemplating the boy's words throughout the day
And when I can't feel it
Anticipating difficulty in feeling the sincerity of the boy's words
I'll be fallin' for you even more
Expecting increased emotional attachment despite doubts
It's not fair that you have a hold on me
Expressing the unfair emotional grip the boy has on the speaker
All that I'm asking for
Requesting honesty from the boy
Is your honesty
Pleading for confirmation of the boy's love
Do you really love me
Posing a direct question about the sincerity of the boy's feelings
Hey, I'm just sayin
Casually expressing thoughts with a hint of skepticism
You're laughing but boy
Asserting seriousness despite the boy's laughter
I ain't playin' with you
Emphasizing the speaker's lack of playful intent
I can't entertain it
Rejecting engagement with insincere actions
I love your attention
Appreciating the positive aspects of the boy's attention
I'll stay with you
Committing to staying with the boy despite reservations
Don't call me pretty
Rejecting superficial compliments about physical appearance
I got trust issues with boys like you
Expressing distrust due to past issues with similar individuals
Don't tell me you miss me
Discouraging false expressions of missing the speaker
I'll be in my bedroom daydreaming of you
Revealing daydreaming about the boy despite skepticism
Don't say these sweet things
Reiterating the warning against insincere statements
If you never mean it
Advising against meaningless sweet talk
I can't let you in my head
Repeating the need to protect the speaker's thoughts from insincere influences
'Cause I might believe it
Expressing the potential danger of believing insincere words
I'll think about it all day long
Continuing to think about the boy's words throughout the day
And when I can't feel it
Acknowledging the difficulty in feeling the sincerity of the boy's words
I'll be fallin' for you even more
Expecting increased emotional attachment despite doubts
It's not fair
Reiterating the perceived unfairness of the emotional hold
That you have a hold on me
Requesting honesty from the boy
All that I'm asking for
Asking for confirmation of the boy's love
Is your honesty
Repeating the plea for honesty
Do you really love me
Persistently questioning the sincerity of the boy's love
Do you really love me
Repeating the crucial question about the boy's true feelings
Or are you just lonely
Speculating on the boy's
