[Chorus]
You're a boy who likes to play games
Drives girls so insane
They only want you to say their name
But you don't work that way
You're a boy who breaks the girls' hearts
Don't know what he wants
Shoulda told it straight from the start
That she will not fall apart

[Verse 1]
You're not boyfriend material
Got your back up straight against the wall
Eyeing up the girlies from the head to the toe
Ha, they think you're serious
Alright, you're kinda sweet
Gonna give all of the little girlies sugar to eat
Ooh, boy, gotta rot the teeth
But you can't stay long, yeah, you need to breathe

[Pre-Chorus]
Why don't you just come on and take a ride?
I'll melt you like an ice pack inside
Why don't you just come on and jump on in?
I don't care if you sink or you swim

[Chorus]
You're a boy who likes to play games
Drives girls so insane
They only want you to say their name
But you don't work that way
You're a boy who breaks the girls' hearts
Don't know what he wants
Shoulda told it straight from the start
That she will not fall apart

[Verse 2]
You're not boyfriend material
Gonna eat you up like cereal
You can come and test me, you can come and try me
I think you might just like me
You know you're kinda cool
Used to mess around with all the little girlies in school
Ooh, boy, gonna break the rules
Ooh, boy, gonna break the rules

[Pre-Chorus]
Why don't you just come on and take a ride?
I'll melt you like an ice pack inside
Why don't you just come on and jump on in?
I don't care if you sink or you swim

[Chorus]
You're a boy who likes to play games
Drives girls so insane
They only want you to say their name
But you don't work that way
You're a boy who breaks the girls' hearts
Don't know what he wants
Shoulda told it straight from the start
That she will not fall apart

Charlotte Emma Aitchison (born 2 August 1992), known professionally as Charli XCX, is an English singer-songwriter known for her eclectic style. She began making music at fourteen, and her debut release was a 2008 limited-edition album aptly titled 14.

By 2010, Charli signed to Atlantic Records, and released her debut single “Stay Away” in May 2011. She released her “real” debut album, True Romance, in 2013. The record met critical acclaim but failed to attain much commercial success. Charli’s true breakthrough came with the release of hit collaborations like Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” and Icona Pop’s “I Love It.”

In April 2014, Charli found solo success with “Boom Clap,” which was featured on the soundtrack of The Fault in Our Stars. It’s now certified triple platinum in the United States and gold in her native United Kingdom. Her sophomore album, Sucker, was a pop-punk oriented effort and enjoyed more success than her debut. “Break The Rules,” “Doing It” (featuring Rita Ora), and “Famous” all performed well on the UK singles chart.
