Two keys back to my place, we were havin no fun
But your not ok, telling me you miss my face
I remember when you would say you hate my waist
I said im not coming back, its it
You fooled me once but you can’t have that ego turning
Just to bad for you, that when you had me
Cause you had a good girl, good girl, girl
That’s a keeper, k-k-k-k-keeper
You had a good girl, good girl but
Didnt know how to treat her,
t-t-t-t-treat her (treat her)
(Ref)
So silly boy get out my face (my face)
Why do you like the way regrets taste?
So silly boy get out my hair my hair (get outta here)

But I just think your ass is fake
Only thing I want from you, is for you to (stay away)

The song Silly Boy by Eva Simons talks about a past romance that has ended but the ex-partner is still trying to reignite it. The ex-partner is calling and trying to reach out to her, but it is too late as she has moved on from the relationship. The lyrics describe the ex-partner as someone who did not appreciate her when they were together, and now that they have broken up, they want her back. Eva sings that the ex-partner had a good girl, who was willing to stay, but didn't know how to treat her right, which eventually led to the end of the relationship. The title of the song 'Silly Boy' refers to the foolishness of the ex-partner's actions in not valuing the relationship.
The chorus of the song is a reminder to the ex-partner that it is over and she wants him to leave her alone. She repeatedly asks him to get out of her face and hair, and that she does not want him anymore. Eva Simons also points out that the ex-partner is using corny lines to win her back, but it is useless as she has moved on.
Overall, the song Silly Boy is empowering as it portrays a woman who is strong enough to move on from a toxic relationship despite the ex-partner's attempts to win her back.
