Description
It sounds like the diary of a weary heart that has fallen for the same sweet promises a thousand times before. Seemingly the ‘perfect type,’ but with the added bonus of someone else's girlfriend and a habit of only writing at two in the morning. It's a familiar story: fleeting attention, plans that never materialise, and in the end, empty hands and the feeling that it's all been done before. An ironic confession about how easy it is to confuse infatuation with the habit of wasting someone else's time.

Lyrics and translation
Original
I met a boy, he's just my type
I'm so annoyed, he said I might be the love of his life
He's got a girl, but acts like he's mine
I'm over boys that waste my time
I need a lover, not a love-me-or-not
I need a man who can love me a lot, oh
I need a lover, not a love-me-or-not
I need a man who can put me on top, oh
I need a lover that's down for the ride
Not a lover just down for the night, oh
I need a lover, not a love-me-or-not
Last time I saw one, I forgot
I met a boy, he's just my type
I'm so annoyed, he said I might be the love of his life
He's got a girl, but acts like he's mine
I'm over boys that waste my time
You're so immature (oh), right from the jump
A-B-C, it won't be that easy
One, two, three, I got my own money
Playin' these games
I'm not the one to be that stupid, thinking I'm clueless
'Cause
I met a boy, he's just my type
I'm so annoyed, he said I might (oh) be the love of his life
He's got a girl (he's got a girl) but acts like he's mine (acts like he's mine)
I'm over boys that waste my time
I met a boy (I met a boy), he's just my type (he's just my type)
I'm so annoyed (I'm so annoyed), he said I might (he said I might) be the love of his life
He's got a girl, but acts like he's mine (acts like he's mine)
I'm over boys that waste my time
(Ah) touchin' me only when no one's watchin'
2 a.m., when she sleeps, now you're talkin'
It's crazy how you don't see all the problem
Now you're just a story, I got (just a story, I got)
I met a boy, he was my type
I'm so annoyed (I'm so annoyed), you wasted my time
Almost ruined my life
Still got the girl, but acts like he's mine
I'm over boys that waste my time
