Boys Like You
Anna Clendening Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Momma said there'd be boys like you
Tearing my heart in two, doing what you do, best
Taking me for a ride, telling me pretty little lies
But with you, I can't resist

Before I met you, I never felt good enough
Before I let you, in, I'd already given up
Left on read, no reply, left me just wondering why

Now I'm skeptical of love

So when you hold my hand, do you wanna hold my heart?
When you say you want me, is it all of me or just one part?
So when you hold my hand, do you wanna hold my heart?
When you say you want me

Momma said there'd be boys like you
Tearing my heart in two, doing what you do, best
Taking me for a ride, telling me pretty little lies
But with you, I can't resist
Maybe momma doesn't always know best

I'm terrified, but I'll never let you know
Social suicide, if I ever let it show
Everything feels just right
I fall in place, we fall in line
I'll never let you go

So when you hold my hand, do you wanna hold my heart?
When you say you want me, is it all of me or just one part?
So when you hold my hand, do you wanna hold my heart?
When you say you want me
Is it all of me? yeah

Momma said there'd be boys like you
Tearing my heart in two, doing what you do, best
Taking me for a ride, telling me pretty little lies
But with you, I can't resist
Maybe momma doesn't always know best

So when you hold me (when you hold me), am I the only one?
Do you wanna know me (do you wanna know me), or is this all just for fun?

Momma said there'd be boys like you
Tearing my heart in two, doing what you do, best
Taking me for a ride, telling me pretty little lies
But with you, I can't resist, no, no
Maybe momma doesn't always know best

Momma said there'd be boys like you
Too good to be true, mm-mm, doing what you do, best

Taking me for a ride, telling me pretty little lies
But for you, for you, for you I'll take that risk

Overall Meaning

In "Boys Like You," Anna Clendening sings about a toxic relationship with a boy who repeatedly breaks her heart with his lies and unpredictable behavior. The singer of the song, who is torn between her attraction to him and her fear of getting hurt, expresses her vulnerability and self-doubt throughout the song. She internalizes the idea that boys like him are inevitable and are bound to hurt her.

The chorus of the "Boys Like You" is about how the singer is uncertain about whether the boy likes her for who she is or just a part of her. She is terrified of social suicide and does not let him know of her fear of being hurt. Even though he tells her that he wants her, she still doubts his sincerity.

The song's lyrics resonate with many people who have experienced similar situations in their lives. The lyrics show how some people find it challenging to let go of relationships, even if it has become toxic, and how they deal with the fear of being hurt.

Line by Line Meaning

Momma said there'd be boys like you
My mother warned me about men like you

Tearing my heart in two, doing what you do, best
Breaking my heart is just something that comes naturally to you

Taking me for a ride, telling me pretty little lies
You deceive me with your sweet nothings

But with you, I can't resist
I'm so attracted to you that I can't resist you

Before I met you, I never felt good enough
I used to have low self-esteem before I met you

Before I let you, in, I'd already given up
I had already lost hope in love before I let you enter my life

Left on read, no reply, left me just wondering why
Your lack of response and attention made me wonder why I'm not good enough for you

Now I'm skeptical of love
Your actions have made me doubt the existence of true love

Maybe momma doesn't always know best
Perhaps my mother's advice is not always right

So when you hold my hand, do you wanna hold my heart?
I'm not sure if you're holding my hand just to play with my heart

When you say you want me, is it all of me or just one part?
I'm not sure if you really want all of me or just a part of me

I'm terrified, but I'll never let you know
I'm scared of losing you, but I won't let you know

Social suicide, if I ever let it show
It would be social suicide if I revealed my true feelings for you

Everything feels just right
Being with you just feels perfect

I fall in place, we fall in line
We click and complement each other well

So when you hold me (when you hold me), am I the only one?
I'm wondering if I'm the only woman you hold this way

Do you wanna know me (do you wanna know me), or is this all just for fun?
I'm wondering if you're interested in knowing me for real or if you're just playing games

Momma said there'd be boys like you
My mother warned me about men like you

Too good to be true, mm-mm, doing what you do, best
You seem too good to be true, but breaking my heart is still what you do best

But for you, for you, for you I'll take that risk
Despite the risks, I'm willing to take a chance on you because I'm drawn to you

"I like you, I really do."

Me: "i liKe yOu i rEally dO"

insert spongebob meme

but honestly. don't tell someone you like them and then choose someone else. don't make them feel on top of the world one second and six feet under the next. you'll kill a person that way.

if he actually sees this, i hope he can't sleep tonight.

I wrote another version but bestfriend instead of boyfriend... (no hate lmao)
Mama said they’d be girls like you
Playing popular at school
Doing what you do best
Making me feel right
Telling me goss and all lies
But with you, I thought I fit in

Before I met you,
I already felt tough
Before I let you in,
You had already started stuff
Left on read
No reply
Got me just, wondering why
Now i’m sceptical of trust

So when you let me in, did you want be my friend
When you said, were besties, was it real or all just pretend

My version:

Mama said there'd be boys like you
Ones that like using me too
Saying you love me good
Taking me for a walk
Telling me to just stop
But for you, I'll do what's best

Before I met you, I was ready to give up
And when I let you in, I regretted it so much
Left on read, no reply
Just left here to sit and cry
Now I really hate love

So when you hold my face
Do you wanna make this last
When you say you love me, do you mean it or is it fake?
So when you hold my face
Do you wanna make this last
When you say you love me

Mama said there'd be boys like you
Ones that like using me too
Saying you love me good
Taking me for a walk
Telling me to just stop
But for you, I'll do what's best
I know mama seems to always know best

I'm lonely, but I'll never let you know
I'm unworthy, I can't ever let it show
It's so hard to call you mine, I fall in place, you fall behind
I've gotta let you go

So when you hold my face
Do you wanna make this last
When you say you love me, do you mean it or is it fake?
So when you hold my face
Do you wanna make this last
When you say you love me, do you mean it? Yeah

Mama said there'd be boys like you
Ones that like using me too
Saying you love me good
Taking me for a walk
Telling me to just stop
But for you, I'll do what's best
I know mama seems to always know best

So when you kiss me (when you kiss me)
Am I the only girl?
Do you want to love me? (Do you want to love me)
Or is this just all fake?

Mama said there'd be boys like you
Ones that like using me too
Saying you love me good
Taking me for a walk
Telling me to just stop
But for you, I'll do what's best no, no
I know mama seems to always know best

Mama said there'd be boys like you
It's horribly true
Saying you love me good
Taking me for a walk
Telling me to just stop
But for you, for you, for you
I'll stay for a bit

To all the girls reading this, You don't need a boy to make you feel good about yourself. It's good to have someone show you love and affection. But it's not worth the pain. You are going to have a bunch of "Boyfriends" and they are going to hurt you, bring you down, make you feel like giving up, make you feel like there's nothing left and you should just disappear, but you're are worth something, you are someone, you are loved, don't ever give up because if you wait the right guy will come around and change your life. They will make you feel something you didn't feel with any of those other guys. They will show you the love and affection you've been waiting for. You are all worth it and you don't need a guy to tell you that. Be confident about yourself. You are all unigue and beautiful in your own way. 💕

No, everything that falls and don't get catched gets broken.

Sometimes you fall and get chatched. And sometimes ... not. But if you don't take the risk to fall and break, you will never fall and get catched.

But if you never fall, even for the right one, you never experience the thrill of being caught in the arms of someone you love. Sure you might not get caught a few times. But when it matters, you will have someone to break your fall.

Right now, there are people all over the world who are just like you. They're either lonely, they're missing somebody, they're depressed, they're hurt, they're scarred from the past, they're having personal issues no one knows about, they have secrets you wouldn't believe. They wish, they dream and they hope. And right now, they are sitting here reading these words, and I'm writing this for you so you dont feel alone anymore. Always remember, don't be depressed about the past, don't worry about the future, and just focus on today. If today's not so great don't worry! Tomorrow's a new chance. If you are reading this, be sure to share this around to make others feel better. Have a nice day!

Not just for the looks she is kind, humble, respectful,responsible, and smart and many other things I could go on for ever. I would not trade her for the world she makes life worth living for, especially how people are these days.

So for all the sleepless night thanks for letting me go. I hope your happy with yourself at how much you hurt me. Holding your hand would have been precious, but whose fault is it? I know it definitely wasn't mine. You really said " You deserve better. " I knew that but did I care? I love you for your personality not for looks. But did You really mean " I love you.

Dear girls,

Be treated right, if ur not by your family or boyfriends YOU have a voice! And you need to use it. God didn’t give us a voice and a chance to live just for fun or to experience something, he gave it to us to love and realise what’s it’s like to be loved, not hate. He didn’t give us a voice to not use it, he gave us a voice to use it, and use that voice. Don’t be scared , don’t let them take over your life, because you deserve a chance to live, everyone does. But some people don’t appreciate it.

It's a long story and I feel like if I went in depth you wouldn't believe me. Also after I got over him I liked another dude and he ended up breaking up with this one girl to date another. The second one was more of a fluke and the first was when I was younger and naive so I don't really know how I feel anymore but completely understand how you feel.
