Lyrics[]
Italics= DFG
Bold= Both
Boy I think
I must have had too much to drink
Cuz usually
I never find boys attractive
My head isn't reacting
But my heart is still battling
My heart beat, beat, beat, beat
Gets closer when you look at me, me, me, me
My heart beat, beat, beat, beat
Gets closer when you look at me, me, me, me
(me, me, me, me)
Sweetie, I think
We must have washed this shit down the sink
Then you saw him
And things might be okay again
My head isn't reacting
But my heart is still battling
My heart beat, beat, beat, beat
Gets closer when you look at me, me, me, me
My heart beat, beat, beat, beat
Gets closer when you look at me, me, me, me
(me, me, me, me)
My heart beat, beat, beat, beat
Gets closer when you look at me, me, me, me
My heart beat, beat, beat, beat
Gets closer when you look at me, me, me, me
My heart beat, beat, beat, beat
Gets closer when you look at me, me, me, me
(me, me, me, me)
Music Video[]
The music video is set in the mall, where Sophia is out shopping alone when she spots Mall Boy. Her eyes get really big (like Cry Baby in the Training Wheels music video) obviously indicating that she is attracted to this boy. The rest of the video is Sophia trying to flirt with him, but being too shy to do so. In the end, she decides to use the bathroom and sees Mall Boy making out with another girl. Her eyes go back to normal size and she starts crying.
