Silly Boy
Chantelle Paige Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me whatcha think I wanna hear
In a drunk dial phone call saying you're sorry
Doing anything to get me near
But your sweet talk reeks from the fifth of Bacardi
Boy you know that I'm sick of it
Had your chance so get over it
You know you had it all
Acting like you're really over this
Got you lips locked up with a little miss naughty
See ya trying to make a show of it
But when last call comes then you whisper you want me
Now I know that you're missing it
But I told you I'm over it
So take your girl and go
And don't you know?
Silly boy silly boy you had your chance
You blew it over and over again
Silly boy now you want what you can't have
It's too late it's too late
So stop your begging for me back
Cause all your words can't erase the fact
I'm over you Silly Boy
Complimenting on my mystery
Say the girls from the club are a little too easy
Loving on my spontaneity
Cause when you're with me it's a little hard breathing
Boy you know that I see through it
Only want what you couldn't get
But when push comes to shove
Ya know I never really needed you
You're just my little boy toy with a real hot body
Being scandalous is what you do
But your Trumped up game never got me falling
Boy you know that I see through it
But I told you I'm over it
I'm better off alone
And don't you know
Silly boy silly boy you had your chance
You blew it over and over again
Silly boy now you want what you can't have
It's too late it's too late
So stop your begging for me back
Cause all your words can't erase the fact
I'm over you Silly Boy
Oh yeah it's over you silly boy
Oh yeah it's over you silly boy
Silly boy silly boy you had your chance
You blew it over and over again
Silly boy now you want what you can't have
It's too late it's too late
So stop your begging for me back




Cause all your words can't erase the fact
I'm over you Silly Boy

Overall Meaning

Chantelle Paige's song "Silly Boy" is a powerful anthem for anyone who has been constantly let down by someone they cared about. The lyrics are a firm rejection of an ex-lover who is trying to win her back after repeatedly breaking her trust. The song begins with her asking him to apologize for his actions while intoxicated, and ends with her declaring that she's much better off without him. The chorus, "Silly boy, you had your chance, you blew it over and over again," is a clear message that there is no going back.


Throughout the song, Paige emphasizes her independence and strength. She sees through her ex's shallow compliments and knows that he's just using her for his pleasure. She doesn't need anyone else to be happy and won't fall for his games anymore. The line "You're just my little boy toy with a real hot body" is empowering because it shows that she's in control of the situation and that he has no power over her.


Paige's clear and confident delivery of the lyrics adds to the song's message of empowerment. She doesn't seem to be just singing the lyrics but rather is breathing her frustration and anger at her ex's behavior to her audience.
