Boys Like You
Itzy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hah!
Hmm

Why you calling me up saying sorry again?
Already told you we're done, why didn't you get?
Don't forget you're the one that tried to get with my friends
The end, the end, the end, the end
Well, you must be going crazy, thinking I'll be back, I'm sorry
'Cause you're crying like a baby, but do I look like your mommy?
Take a look into that mirror if u wonder why you lost me
Gotta sit down and shut up, you did it to yourself

Boy, you gonna diss me? Boy, I'm so pissed
Boy, you gonna miss me, boy, you are dismissed
'Cause I don't fall for boys like you (I don't fall for)
I don't fall for boys like you (I don't fall for)

Boy, you wanna date me? Boy, outta date, yeah
Boy, you wanna "What? No!", boy, outta my way
'Cause I don't fall for boys like you (I don't fall for)
I don't fall for boys like you (I don't fall for)

I see through sweet little lies and every excuse
When you start every fight, the blame is on you
One red flag and I'm gone already onto
The next, the next, the next

Well, you must be going crazy, thinking I'll be back, I'm sorry
'Cause you're crying like a baby, but do I look like your mommy?
Take a look into that mirror if u wonder why you lost me
Gotta sit down and shut up, you did it to yourself

Boy, you gonna diss me? Boy, I'm so pissed
Boy, you gonna miss me, boy, you are dismissed
'Cause I don't fall for boys like you (I don't fall for)
I don't fall for boys like you (I don't fall for)

Boy, you wanna date me? Boy, outta date, yeah
Boy, you wanna "What? No!", boy, outta my way
'Cause I don't fall for boys like you (I don't fall for)
I don't fall for boys like you (I don't fall for)

You can raise your voice, but know that you have no choice
Don't care what you do (you-hoo-hoo)
You can raise your voice, but know that you have no choice
Don't care what you do (you-hoo-hoo)

So turn around, walk away
You made your bed, so you gotta lay

Get outta my way

Boy, you gonna diss me? Boy, I'm so pissed
Boy, you gonna miss me, boy, you are dismissed
'Cause I don't fall for boys like you (I don't fall for)
I don't fall for boys like you (I don't fall for)

Boy, you wanna date me? Boy, outta date, yeah
Boy, you wanna "What? No!", boy, outta my way
'Cause I don't fall for boys like you (I don't fall for)
I don't fall for boys like you (I don't fall for)

You can raise your voice, but know that you have no choice
Don't care what you do (you-hoo-hoo)
You can raise your voice, but know that you have no choice
Don't care what you do (you-hoo-hoo)





Oh, you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Itzy's song "Boys Like You" tell a story of a girl who has broken up with a guy and is firm in her decision to move on. The song is an empowering anthem for women who refuse to tolerate toxic behavior and refuse to be taken for granted. The opening lyrics indicate that the guy has previously apologized for his actions leading to the breakup, but the girl has already moved on and wants nothing to do with him. He had even attempted to get with her friends, leading to a complete end in the relationship.


The chorus of the song, "I don't fall for boys like you" is a clear message to anyone who thinks they can manipulate or mistreat women. The girl is confident in her decision to leave the guy and is not looking for any type of reconciliation. The lyrics go on to describe how the guy is desperate to have her back, but she is not interested. She is frustrated with his behavior and is telling him off by making it clear that he is not in her league.


The song ends with the girl reiterating that she is done with the guy and will not tolerate his behavior any further. The lyrics are simple yet powerful, and the entire song is a testament to the strength of women who refuse to be treated poorly. The upbeat tempo, catchy lyrics, and confident tone of the song make it an anthem for anyone who has ever been wronged by a toxic partner.
