Boys Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ayy, boy, whatcha say, boy?
You tryna play coy like a Gameboy?
Hit my phone boy, is you home boy?
Are you alone boy? Come give me dome, boy
Got a boy with degrees, a boy in the streets
A boy on his knees, he a man in the sheets

Sheesh, it's all Greek to me
Got this boy speaking Spanish, ay, papi

[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, I don't need you
I just wanna freak you
I heard you a freak too
What's two plus two? (Four, three, two, ow)

[Chorus]
Boys, boys, boys
Make a girl go crazy (Four, three, two, ow)
Boys, boys, boys
Make a girl go crazy (Four, three)

[Verse 2]
I like big boys, itty bitty boys
Mississippi boys, inner city boys
I like the pretty boys with the bow tie
Get your nails did, let it blow dry
I like a big beard, I like a clean face
I don't discriminate, come and get a taste
From the playboys to the gay boys
Go and slay, boys, you my fave boys

[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, I don't need you (I don't need)
I just wanna freak you (Want, I want it bad)
I heard you a freak too (That's right)
What's two plus two? (Four, three, two, ow)

[Chorus]
Boys, boys, boys
Make a girl go crazy (Four, three, two, ow)
Boys, boys, boys
Make a girl go crazy (Four, three, two, ow)

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Four, three, two, ow (Woo)
Boys, boys, boys
Make a girl go crazy (Four, three, two, ow, done lost your mind)
Boys, boys, boys
Make a girl go crazy, ow

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

“Boys” was released as a single in June 2018 and later, in May 2019, as a bonus track on Cuz I Love You (Deluxe). To promote the single, four remixes were also commissioned.

Throughout the song, Lizzo states that she ‘doesn’t discriminate’ when it comes to men in her dating pool.
When asked about the meaning of the song, Lizzo commented:

From this black girl to the world, I want you to identify with my story no matter what you like in yo’ holes. I want people to feel free, I want people to have fun, I want these boys to know that you could be my next victim… if you play your cards right.”

The song was accompanied with a music video the same day of its release.
In the music video, Lizzo dances in front of the iconic music note wall where Prince commemorated in 1977.
