            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
            
            Ah, mmm
            
            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 (A boy)
            Ah (A boy)
            Ah
            All because I liked a boy
        
Acredita-se que a música seja sobre o relacionamento de Carpenter com Joshua Bassett,
bem como as críticas online que ela recebeu após o lançamento da música "Drivers License" de Olivia Rodrigo,
que alimentou rumores de um triângulo amoroso entre ela, Bassett e Rodrigo.
