Boys
Sabrina Lyrics

I said I wanted thin mints and you said you knew a guy
I expressed my desire to have some thin mints, and you claimed that you could provide them by introducing me to someone.

You showed up with a boom box and stars in your eyes
You arrived with a large audio system and a look of admiration and adoration in your eyes.

Who knew cuddling on trampolines could be so reckless
We never suspected that spending time cuddling on trampolines would be bold and daring.

We bonded over black-eyed peas and complicated exes
We connected while discussing black-eyed peas and the difficulties and complexities of our previous relationships.

Fell so deeply into it
I became very involved and invested in this relationship.

It was all so innocent
Our connection and relationship began with an initial sense of purity and absence of malintent.

Now I'm a homewrecker, I'm a slut
As a result of my actions and relationship choices, I am now viewed by some as a person who ruined a home and is promiscuous.

I got death threats filling up semi trucks
I have received numerous messages and threats of harm that have filled up many semi-trucks.

Tell me who I am, guess I don't have a choice
I am asking you to help me understand who I am, because I feel as though I have no control over the labels being placed upon me.

All because I liked
All of the negative consequences that have come from this situation are because of my affection for someone.

I'm a hot topic on your tongue
My name and actions are frequently discussed and talked about by others around you.

I'm a rebound gettin' 'round stealin' from the young
I am used by others as a rebound, and people view me as someone who takes advantage of younger partners.

All because I liked a boy
Once again, all of the adverse effects that have arisen from this situation have come about because of my feelings for someone.

I'm not catastrophizing
I am accurately and rationally processing the events that have transpired.

Everything's derailing
Things are rapidly falling apart and becoming chaotic.

Was only tryna hold you close
I was only attempting to embrace and comfort you.

While your heart was failing
During the time that I was trying to support you, your heart was simultaneously failing or experiencing difficulties.

It's not internet illusions just two kids going through it
This is not a mere internet facade - we are simply two young individuals dealing with this situation.

You said I'm too late to be your first love
You mentioned that it is too late for me to be your initial true love.

But I'll always be your favorite
Despite this, I will always hold a special place in your heart and be your preferred romantic partner.

All because I liked a boy
Once more, all of the negative circumstances have resulted from my fondness for a particular young man.

Fell so deeply into it
I became emotionally invested in the relationship to a significant extent.

Dating boys with exes
I tend to pursue romantic connections with young men who have had previous partners.

No, I wouldn't recommend it
Based on my experiences, I would not suggest following this course of action.

And all of this for what?
At this point, I am questioning the cost of all of the negative consequences and events that have arisen because of this relationship.

When everything went down we'd already broken up
When everything went wrong and negative events began, the two of us had already stopped seeing each other romantically.

Please tell me who I am, guess I don't have a choice
Once more, I am asking for you to assist me in understanding who I am, as it feels as though I have lost control of my reputation and identity.

All because I liked a boy
Finally, I acknowledge that all of this has arisen from my feelings for a particular young man.
