Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm in the deep end, cannonball jump
Thinking of your love and my heart beats like a drum
Not feeling guilty, 'cause the water's just right
Oh, it might be wrong, might be the time of your life

So jump on in with me
Let me set you free
I'll make you feel like you're dreaming

Try try try, to follow the rules
I break every one of them with boys like you
My oh my, doing what I always do
Yeah I'm crossing every line to get to boys like you
Boys like you, you, tripping, freaking falling over boys like you

It's getting hot out under that summer sun
I'm not playing games, I'm just a girl having fun
I need to cool down, 'cause I know we're just friends
But one look from you baby then I'm falling back in

What's a girl to do?
I got it mad for you
You make me feel like I'm dreaming

Try try try, to follow the rules
I break every one of them with boys like you
My oh my, doing what I always do
Yeah I'm crossing every line to get to boys like you
Boys like you, you, tripping, freaking falling over boys like you

I get a feeling, looking you in the eye
Know you wanna take a bite of my cherry pie
Get so excited, boy you’re making me blush
Let's just take our time now, there ain't no need to rush, no

Why don't you make a move?
Got nothing else to lose
Just make me feel like I'm dreaming

Try try try, to follow the rules
I break every one of them with boys like you
My oh my, doing what I always do
Yeah I'm crossing every line to get to boys like you
Boys like you, you, tripping, freaking falling over boys like you





I got that something I know you can't resist
I'm gonna make you feel it when I blow you that kiss

Overall Meaning

The song Boys Like You by Who is Fancy (featuring Meghan Trainor and Ariana Grande) is about falling in love with someone who may not be the best for you, but the attraction is irresistible. The first verse describes the feeling of being in the deep end of the pool, an analogy for diving into a relationship that may be risky. The singer's heart beats like a drum as she thinks of the love interest, and while she knows it may not be the best decision, she doesn't feel guilty because the water feels just right. She encourages the love interest to take the plunge with her and experience a sense of freedom, feeling like they're dreaming.


The chorus reveals that the singer is aware of the foolishness of following her heart rather than her head when it comes to "boys like you." She can't resist breaking the rules and crossing every line to be with them. She falls easily and deeply for guys who are not good for her, causing her to trip, freak out, and fall over. The second verse acknowledges the attraction and heat between the singer and the love interest, but she tries to remind herself that they are just friends. However, one look from him and she's falling back in. The bridge describes the excitement of the possibility of something happening between them, and the singer urges the love interest to make a move and make her feel like she's dreaming. The final chorus is about the singer knowing that she has something that the love interest can't resist, and she's going to make him feel it when she blows him that kiss.

This song is so underrated, sad that it never charted

@violetmiller9999

Are you shitting me? I'm diehard country but I heard this on DWTS and LOVED it! If a great catchy song like THIS did not chart then there is something seriously wrong with today's music lovers! That is ridiculous. I just presumed it was a HUGE hit.

@blackhole7909

Mia Martinez but it's good song, stupid chart people

@violetmiller9999

Infinitestar Cosplay, no, it's NOT a good song. It is a GREAT song! Very catchy lyrics and tune. I'm 64 and a diehard country fan but I LOVE this song. You are right about the STUPID chart people though. lol
