My boy (Debut / Demo Version) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My boy's being sus
He was shady as fuck
But now he's just a shadow
My boy loves his friends like
I love my split ends and by that I mean
He cuts 'em off
[Chorus]
My boy
My boy
My boy
Don't love me like he promised
My boy
My boy
My boy
He ain't a man and sure as hell ain't honest
[Verse 2]
My boy's being sus
And he don't know how to cuss
He just sounds like he's tryna be his father
My boy's an ugly crier
But he's such a pretty liar
And by that I mean he said he'd "change"
My boy's being sus
He was shady as fuck
But now he's just a shadow
My boy loves his friends like
I love my split ends and by that I mean
He cuts 'em off
[Chorus]
My boy
My boy
My boy
Don't love me like he promised
My boy
My boy
My boy
He ain't a man and sure as hell ain't honest
[Verse 2]
My boy's being sus
And he don't know how to cuss
He just sounds like he's tryna be his father
My boy's an ugly crier
But he's such a pretty liar
And by that I mean he said he'd "change"
[Chorus]
My boy
My boy
My boy
Don't love me like he promised
My boy
My boy
My boy
He ain't a man and sure as hell ain't honest
[Chorus]
My boy
My boy
My boy
Don't love me like he promised
My boy
My boy
My boy
He ain't a man and sure as hell ain't honest
[Outro]
You want me to be yours
Well then you gotta be mine
And if you want a good girl, then goodbye
You want me to be yours
Well then you gotta be mine
And if you want a good girl, then goodbye
My boy
My boy
My boy
Don't love me like he promised
My boy
My boy
My boy
He ain't a man and sure as hell ain't honest
[Chorus]
My boy
My boy
My boy
Don't love me like he promised
My boy
My boy
My boy
He ain't a man and sure as hell ain't honest
[Outro]
You want me to be yours
Well then you gotta be mine
And if you want a good girl, then goodbye
You want me to be yours
Well then you gotta be mine
And if you want a good girl, then goodbye

Genius Annotation
Almost a year before the track would be officially released, Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell performed an embryonic version of “my boy” at Bardot, Los Angeles on October 10th, 2016.
Featuring alternate lyrics / vocal delivery as well as jazzier, smoother production, this incarnation of “my boy” is strikingly different than the one we know and love today— also lacking the track’s signature ad-libs.
Videos of the performance have been removed from YouTube for unknown reasons, but is still available in audio form.
