Sabrina Carpenter - ​because i liked a boy lyrics

The only good thing about constant misogyny towards women is that women create bops like this song. Sab definitely has my heart and tears with this whole album

[Sabrina Carpenter - ​because i liked a boy lyrics]

I said I wanted Thin Mints
And you said you knew a guy
You showed up with a boombox
And stars in your eyes
Who knew cuddling on trampolines
Could be so reckless?
We bonded over Black Eyed Peas
And complicated exes

Fell so deeply into it
It was all so innocent

Now I'm a homewrecker, I'm a slut
I got death threats fillin' up semitrucks
Tell me who I am
Guess I don't have a choice
All because I liked
I'm the hot topic on your tongue
I'm a rebound gettin' 'round
Stealin' from the young
Tell me who I am
Guess I don't have a choice
All because I liked a boy

Ooh oh

I'm not catastrophizing
Everything's derailing
Was only tryna hold you close
While your heart was failing
It's not internet illusion
Just two kids going through it
You said I'm too late
To be your first love
But I'll always be your favorite

Now I'm a homewrecker, I'm a slut
I got death threats fillin' up semitrucks
Tell me who I am
Guess I don't have a choice
All because I liked
I'm the hot topic on your tongue
I'm a rebound gettin' 'round
Stealin' from the young
Tell me who I am
Guess I don't have a choice
All because I liked a boy

Ah ah ah
All because I liked a boy

Fell so deeply into it
It was all so innocent
Dating boys with exes
No, I wouldn't recommend it

I'm a homewrecker, I'm a slut
I got death threats fillin' up semitrucks
Tell me who I am
Guess I don't have a choice
All because I liked a boy
And all of this for what?
When everything went down
We'd already broken up
Please, tell me who I am
Guess I don't have a choice
All because I liked a boy

Ah ah (A boy)
Ah, ah (A boy)
Ah, ah
All because I liked a boy

About the song Sabrina Carpenter - ​because i liked a boy

1. This should be a huge wake up call to everyone in stan culture. This was 2 people who are just like us that dated and went through a breakup and because someone else wrote a breakup song everyone decided that Sabrina was some horrible person. Remember that celebrities are just normal people who have feelings too. Death threats are never okay no matter how much you like a singer, and at the end of the day it’s not your life or your business.

2. This particular song's viewpoint is not only mature but necessary for young persons listening. The new album is a treat, i enjoyed the way she paired contemporary pop production with adult lyrics. i daresay i like her more than her peers now as she showcases great awareness in her songwriting, the poignancy and vulnerability of her words are reminiscent of Taylor Swift.

3. This woman was literally scrutinized and belittled all because she was in love with a guy who wasn’t even with the other girl. The fact that she can make art from something that was so messy and chaotic is truly beautiful! I have been a Sabrina stan since 2016, and she continues to engage and amaze with her music.

4. It’s so heartbreaking how people tear down one woman to raise another up. The girl hate is unfortunately still prevalent in our society. So glad to see Sabrina bouncing back from this, and with such a powerful song and high quality video to support. She’s one of the most underrated singers out there today.

5. if you find the song problematic, then you're definitely part of it. I have been following her music since 2018 and she's an amazing singer and sounds SO GOOD in live. This album is about her life and how the events of the last two years have affected her. she’s not trying to tear down any artists. Almost every artist write songs about old relationships and people have no problem with that so please stop with the hate comments towards literally ANYONE.
