about
"I Can't Get No Boy" is the third track released from the 'D.T.M.A. (Dance This Mess Around)' EP. I began writing it during a songwriting session with Cindy Blackman. It's playful and tongue-in-cheek, but at the same time very truthful about what I was looking for in a relationship and my struggle to find the right person.
lyrics
CHORUS:
I can’t get no boy to love me, oh no (4x)
VERSE:
Boy wonder wit his blue eyes
Rock star guitar mesmerized
Fell in love with him and everything he couldn’t be
Wild stallion on the scene doin’ her and me
So I found me a southern boy
Tall dreadlock, chocolate southern boy
He opened every single door
But he couldn’t commit, ha
CHORUS:
I can’t get no boy to love me, oh no (4x)
VERSE:
Caramel intellectual
Scattin’ bebop, jazz violin strings
Conversation stimulatin’ scientifically
But when it came to being spiritual he couldn't’ see
Boys playin’ games I ain’t your toy
Fly sistas need the real mccoy
If you can make the grade we’ll see
But you gotta commit, ha
I need a man who’s gonna treat me right
Simple things like hold me tight
When he tell me, he gon be there I can trust his word
Don’t need to worry bout him freakin’ with another bird
You’ll love to eat sushi wit me,
We’ll rock the night away ya see
I’ll be your queen of ecstasy
But you gotta commit, ha
CHORUS:
I can’t get no boy to love me, oh no (4x)
OUTRO:
I said, I said I can’t get no boy
To rub my damn feet
I said, I said, I can’t get no boy
