Boys Like You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
God, under my breath
I whisper your name like it's in vain
Fuck, more than just sex
Putting my exes all to shame
You pull my chair and pull my hair
Grab that cross 'round my neck
And then throw it over there
Trash my room then leave me in ruins
I was clinically dead now I'm all resurrected

[Chorus]
I thought that boys like you were extinct
I thought that bad boys died with the '90s
You're like a knight in shining armor but you're covered in ink
I thought that boys like you are, boys like you are extinct

[Post-Chorus]
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Boys like you are extinct
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Boys likе you were

[Verse 2]
Gone, in somе hall of fame
Up on the wall with Kurt Cobain
Just bones, down in a grave
Lost in a prehistoric age
But then there's you, too bad to be true
I was clinically dead now I'm all resurrected
[Chorus]
I thought that boys like you were extinct
I thought that bad boys died with the '90s
You're like a knight in shining armor but you're covered in ink
I thought that boys like you are, boys like you are extinct

[Post-Chorus]
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Boys like you were extinct
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Boys like you were

[Chorus]
I thought that boys like you were extinct
I thought that bad boys died with the '90s
You're like a knight in shining armor but you're covered in ink
I thought that boys like you, boys like you are extinct

[Post-Chorus]
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Boys like you were extinct
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Boys like you were
