Lyrics.

     I heard you call me “Boring Barbie” when the crowd’s got you brave,

     high-fived my ex and then you said you’re glad he ghosted me,

     wrote me a song sayin’ it makes you sick to see my face,

     some people might be offended…     

But it’s actually sweet,     

all the time you’ve spent on me,

it’s honestly wild,     

all the effort you’ve put in.

It’s actually romantic

I really gotta hand it to you   ooh,     

no man has ever loved me like you do.     

    Hadn’t thought of you in a long time

but you keep sendin’ me funny valentines.

And I know you think it comes off vicious

but it’s precious, adorable,

like a toy chihuahua barkin’ at me from a tiny purse –

that’s how much it hurts.

How many times has your boyfriend said,

“why are we always talkin’ ’bout her?”

It’s actually sweet,     

all the time you’ve spent on me,

it’s honestly wild,     

all the effort you’ve put in.

It’s actually romantic

I really gotta hand it to you   ooh,     

no man has ever loved me like you do.

You think I’m tacky lately,

stop talkin’ trash about me,

     it sounded sassy but it

feels like you’re jealous of me.

     I mind my business, got my limits and I don’t provoke it,

     it’s kind of makin’ me laugh… (ohh)

Cuz it’s actually sweet,     

all the time you’ve spent on me, (ahh)

it’s honestly wild,     

all the effort you’ve put in. (ahh)

It’s actually romantic

I really gotta hand it to you   ooh,     

no man has ever loved me like you do.

It’s actually romantic

(you’ve just given me so much attention)

(la la la la)      

It’s actually romantic,

(it’s so) romantic…
