Never really saw it until now
Could really only be myself when you weren't around
Remember when we used to dance all night
Now we only dance around the fights
Bein' with you shouldn't bring me down

Momma said you can't fix em'
We both know I never listen
Now I'm just stuck here wishin'

If I could build a boy
He'd be nothing like you
If I could build a boy
He'd love me more than you do

I'm not asking you to change
But we weren't made the same so
If I could build a boy
If I could build a boy I woulda never loved you
(Ooo- I woulda never loved you— ooo)
He would have your eyes but not your views

Wouldn't wear insecurities like a bad tattoo
He would wear me on his arm
Prince charming mixed with zac efron
Compared to you he'd be a dream come true

Momma said you can't fix em'
We both know I never listen
Now I'm just stuck here wishin'

If I could build a boy
He'd be nothing like you
If I could build a boy
He'd love me more than you do

I'm not asking you to change
But we weren't made the same so
If I could build a boy
If I could build a boy I woulda never loved you
(Ooo- I woulda never loved you— ooo)

I know that there's some things I could change about me too
But if I could build a girl, I'd build a me that never met you

If I could build a boy
He'd be nothing like you
If I could build a boy
He'd love me more than you do

I'm not asking you to change
But we weren't made the same so
If I could build a boy
If I could build a boy I woulda never loved you
(Ooo- I woulda never loved you— ooo)
