e string during the Ds.
[Verse 1]
DFor a boy your heart is pretty see through
GFor a boy you sure let your guard down
When you Emknow you want
EmWant what you see and
EmBaby right now you’re looking at me
The Away you say my name
AI know you ain’t playing games
[Verse 2]
DFor a boy you’re good at sayin' sorry
GFor a boy I sure can feel your heart
It’s Emlike a freight train coming at me
EmI’m across the booth on the edge of my seat
AYou don’t make me wait
AYou say what you came to say
[Chorus]
DGo on get it out boy
DSay I’m the only one that makes you this crazy
GCome on and tell me how boy
GHow I’m the only thing you thinking about lately
EmBut what you don’ know, what you don’t know
Is what a girl like me would do
DFor a boy like you
[Verse 3]
DFor a girl I’m pretty cool, calm, and collected
GFor a girl who was getting more than she expected
FrEmom an ex love but here I am
EmYou’re putting your heart in the palm of my hand
I’m Atrying to act really cool
ABut inside I’m a lovesick fool
[Chorus]
DGo on get it out boy
DSay I’m the only one that makes you this crazy
GCome on and tell me how boy
GHow I’m the only thing you thinking about lately
EmBut what you don’t know, what you don’t know
Is what a girl like me would do for a boy like
DGo on say it all boy
DGo on a put every last feeling out on the table
GCome on it's last call boy
GBefore the night ends, let's give this a label
EmBut what you don’ know, what you don’t know
EmIs what a girl like me would do
[Outro]
DFor a boy like you
DFor a boy like you

[Verse 1]

For a boy your heart is pretty see through

For a boy you sure let your guard down

When you know you want

Want what you see and

Baby right now you’re looking at me

The way you say my name

I know you ain’t playing games

[Verse 2]

For a boy you’re good at sayin' sorry

For a boy I sure can feel your heart

It’s like a freight train coming at me

I’m across the booth on the edge of my seat

You don’t make me wait

You say what you came to say

[Chorus]

Go on get it out boy

Say I’m the only one that makes you this crazy

Come on and tell me how boy

How I’m the only thing you thinking about lately

But what you don’ know, what you don’t know

Is what a girl like me would do

For a boy like you

[Verse 3]

For a girl I’m pretty cool, calm, and collected

For a girl who was getting more than she expected

From an ex love but here I am

You’re putting your heart in the palm of my hand

I’m trying to act really cool

But inside I’m a lovesick fool

[Chorus]

Go on get it out boy

Say I’m the only one that makes you this crazy

Come on and tell me how boy

How I’m the only thing you thinking about lately

But what you don’t know, what you don’t know

Is what a girl like me would do for a boy like

Go on say it all boy

Go on a put every last feeling out on the table

Come on it's last call boy

Before the night ends, let's give this a label

But what you don’ know, what you don’t know

Is what a girl like me would do

[Outro]

For a boy like you
