I ain't your cute little sex toy,
I'm not your lion or your tiger,
Won't be your nasty little boy,
I'm not your boyfriend, baby,
I can't grant your every wish,
I'm not your knight in shining armor,
So, I just leave you with this kiss
You can catch me on the speed train,
Beeper in a three-way,
Shinin' with the gleam chain,
And your honey givin' me brain,
You can catch me watchin' AI,
Mellow it's game time,
Pinkie with the same shine,
Pitbull and a canine
You know I rep' this shit,
I gots it tatted on my skin,
If you fuckin' with my city,
Then you fuckin' with my kin,
You know I rep' this shit,
I got my hands up on your chest,
Motherfuckers best believe it,
That you're fuckin' with the best
I'm not your boyfriend, baby,
I ain't your cute little sex toy,

In the song "I'm Not Your Boyfriend Baby," 3OH!3 explores the idea of not being someone's plaything. The artist explains that he is not interested in being his ex-partner's boyfriend or being objectified as a "cute little sex toy." He rejects the notion of being controlled by his ex, stating that he will not grant all her wishes and that he is not a knight in shining armor. Instead, he warns her that she is "messing with the best" when she messes with him and leaves her with a kiss, signifying the end of their relationship.
The following lyrics present the artist as being independent and self-assured. He has moved on from his ex, and he is living his life in the fast lane. He mentions the luxuries that he enjoys, like riding a speed train and wearing a gleaming chain. The artist even brags about having an affair with his ex's friend, showing that he's unbothered by the situation. He finishes this section by reiterating that he keeps his city and his kin close and that anyone who messes with him or his loved ones will have to deal with the consequences.
Moreover, the song's chorus reiterates that the artist is not interested in playing the role of his ex's boyfriend or being her "nasty little boy." The bridge of the song abandons the previous topics and highlights the negative influence of harmful vices on children. Cigarette burns, fast cars, fast women, and cheap drinks are all introduced as examples of how children are learning to live life, and the resulting asphyxiated state drives them to self-medicate and take white pills.
