Emily Shackelton - Think Outside the Boy lyrics

[Verse 1] Sweet sixteen's a beautiful thing for the small town hopes And big city dreams Your diary's filled with getaway plans Then he sweeps in And just like that You're rewriting your story for him All your wishes are gone away through wind Well if you think that he's all that there is [Chorus] Think outside the boy Look right past his charm He's not your definition No he ain't who you are If you don't love yourself You sure ain't gonna help There's so much more to life than living like his wind-up toy Think outside the boy, ooh Think outside the boy [Verse 2] Well I've been there, yeah I believed that he was my forever He was all I'd ever need But I gave up what I wanted And I gave him control I lost myself in a deep, dark hole I'm here to tell you that it's never too late To cut the strings and to take back your fate You found yourself again along the way [Chorus] Just think outside the boy Look right past his charm He's not your definition No he ain't who you are If you don't love yourself You sure ain't gonna help There's so much more to life than living like his wind-up toy [Bridge] Oh, when the right one comes along He won't make you choose When the right one comes along He'll love that you think outside the boy Think outside the boy [Chorus] If you don't love yourself You sure ain't gonna help There's so much more to life than living like his wind-up toy Think outside the boy, ooh Think outside the boy
