Oh what a start to the year
you had me once, and now I'm here
writing songs about what has been and gone
Oh cus' it started off a simple thing
but it seemed much more than your average fling
seems the only way I'm going to get along
Is singing I like a boy with rhythm
Oh head swing hand clap drum beat tapping toes
Oh and when I find a boy with this rhythm
I hope he feels it right down in his bones
Singing I like a boy with rhythm
and I hope he soon comes knocking at my door
oh cus' when I have my boy with his rhythm
I will have to wait around for you no more
Oh well you kissed me twice on our first date
now you fist-bump me and call me 'mate'
what happened to just laughing our way through?
Oh cus' you told me we were right together
and I'll admit I will be tethered
until I find my boy with rhythm blues
(Chorus)
Oh well and all my past lovers like them he will not be
Oh cus' he'll play drums and bass guitar
but he sure won't play me
