[Verse 1]
For a boy your heart is pretty see through
For a boy you sure let your guard down
When you know what you want
Want what you see and baby right now you’re looking at me
The way you say my name
I know you ain’t playing games
[Verse 2]
For a boy you’re good at saying sorry
For a boy I sure can feel your heart
It’s like a freight train coming at me
I’m across the booth on the edge of my seat
You don’t make me wait
You say what you came to say
[Chorus]
Go on get it out boy say
I’m the only one that makes you this crazy
Come on and tell me how boy
How I’m the only thing you thinking about lately
But what you don’ know, what you don’t know
Is what a girl like me would do for a boy like you
[Verse 3]
For a girl I’m pretty cool, calm, and collected
For a girl who was getting more than she expected
From an ex-love but here I am
You’re putting your heart in the palm of my hand
I’m trying to act really cool
But inside I’m a lovesick fool
[Chorus]
Go on get it out boy say
I’m the only one that makes you this crazy
Come on and tell me how boy
How I’m the only thing you thinking about lately
But what you don’ know, what you don’t know
Is what a girl like me would do for a boy like you
Go on get it out boy say
I’m the only one that makes you this crazy
Come on and tell me how boy
How I’m the only thing you thinking about lately
But what you don’ know, what you don’t know
Is what a girl like me would do for a boy like you
[Outro]
Go on say it all boy
Put every last feeling out on the table
Come on it's last call boy
Before the night ends let give this a label
But what you don’ know, what you don’t know
Is what a girl like me would do for a boy like you
For a boy like you
One major social stereotype of boys is that they are very tough; both physically and mentally. Mentally-wise, it is certainly more common for boys to hide their feelings from an earlier age.
However, the boy in this song is certainly not a feelings-hider––he lets his guard down and shows his heart to everyone.
The chorus is where the singer first flips the expression in the title. While she starts talking about the boy’s behavior despite societal limitations, she also uses the phrase in a sense of giving.
One social stereotype for girls is frequent mood swings. Although mood swings are frequent for both genders during puberty, the cliche tends to drift towards a girl.
However, the narrator of the song isn’t one of those crazy girls. She’s more of a calm, cool, and collected gal. And (she) apparently appreciates alliteration.
