[Verse 1]
I love going to movies all alone
I’ll show up to your party all on my own
I don’t need anybody to set me free
But I love when a boy loves me
I can dance to the music all by myself
I don’t need your opinions up on my shelf
I’m as independent as I can be
But I love when a boy loves me

[Chorus]
Cause I can be strong like the waves on the sand
And I can be tough I can thicken my skin
Cause I’ve always played to my own melody
But I love when a boy loves me
Oh, I love when a boy loves me

[Verse 2]
I can circle the Earth do the things I’ve dreamt
Yeah, I know what I’m worth I can pay my rent
I can live out a life like a movie scene
But I love when a boy loves me

[Chorus]
Cause I can be strong like the waves on the sand
And I can be tough I can thicken my skin
Cause I’ve always played to my own melody
But I love when a boy loves me
Oh, I love when a boy loves me
[Bridge]
Staying up in the morning on the telephone
Someone to look forward to when I get home
I know it don’t make all of me
But I’m starting to see
Oh, I’m starting to see

[Chorus]
That I can be strong like the waves on the sand
And I can be tough I can thicken my skin
And I’ve always played to my own melody
But I love when the boys love me

And I can be strong like the waves on the sand
And I can be tough, I can thicken my skin
Cause I’ve always played to my own melody
But I love when a boy loves me
Love when a boy loves me
Oh, I love when a boy loves me
Love when a boy loves me
