## Lyrics

**[All]**

You know girls stan girlfriends over boyfriends

**[Queenie]**

This is Boys World (hey, ya)

So, I know you better know it is

**[Olivia]**

When we started out we both were so obsessive

All over me, I was all over you

But lately, baby, you've been getting too possessive

All over me, when I'm not with you

**[Lillian]**

Every time I'm hanging with my girls

You're acting like I'm hanging with the boys, ooh, yeah

We didn't have a problem in the world

Until you started making noise (ya)

**[All]**

I roll with my best, and you already know

That if they ain't impressеd, you're gonna have to go (yeah, yеah)

So if you're gonna 'press me and treat me like a-

Exit to the left and they'll show you the door (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Baby, I can love you or love you not

Hope you're down with the friends I got (yeah, yeah)

But if you're not, gotta cut you off

'Cause you know girls stan girlfriends over boyfriends

(Girlfriends over boyfriends)

You know girls stan girlfriends over boyfriends

You know girls stan girlfriends over boyfriends

**[Queenie]**

Listen, here's for any other guy who's gonna try me

Never gonna leave my girls, they're sticking by me

Want this new and shiny

Boy, best treat them kindly

**[Makhyli]**

If you wanna be part of my deal

You gotta know that they're part of the deal

**[Elana]**

I roll with my best, and you already know

That if they ain't impressed, you're gonna have to go

So if you're gonna 'press me and treat me like a- (ah)

Exit to the left and they'll show you the door (yeah, yeah, yeah)

**[All]**

Baby, I can love you or love you not (I can love you not)

Hope you're down with the friends I got (hope you're down)

But if you're not, gotta cut you off (gotta cut you off)

'Cause you know girls stan girlfriends over boyfriends

Baby, I can love you or love you not (I can love ya)

Hope you're down with the friends I got (I really hope that you're down)

But if you're not, gotta cut you off (boy, you know it)

'Cause you know girls stan girlfriends over boyfriends

You know, you know, you know

You know girls stan girlfriends over boyfriends

You know girls stan girlfriends over boyfriends

Say you wanna be, say you wanna be

Say you wanna be my boyfriend (my boyfriend)

Boy, you gotta know how it's gonna be (I know you know it)

'Cause you know girls stan girlfriends over boyfriends
