## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Haven't seen my ex since we broke up

Probably cause he didn't wanna grow up

Now I'm out and wearing something low-cut

'Bout to get attention from a grown up

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause you hold me like a woman

In a way I've never felt before

And it makes me wanna hold on

And it makes me wanna be all yours

[Chorus]

Guys my age don't know how to treat me

Don't know how to treat me

Don't know how to treat me

Guys my age don't know how to touch me

Don't know how to love me good

Guys my age don't know how to keep me

Don't know how to keep me

Don't know how to keep me

Guys my age don't know how to touch me

Don't know how to love me good

[Verse 2]

All he ever wanted was to bro-down

What we supposed to do with all his friends around, yeah

Smoking weed, he'd never wanna leave the house

Got an empty cushion on that sofa now

[Pre-Chorus]

Told him good luck with the next one

Maybe she'll be just as immature

Gotta thank him, he's the reason

That I know now what I'm looking for

[Chorus]

Guys my age don't know how to treat me

Don't know how to treat me

Don't know how to treat me

Guys my age don't know how to touch me

Don't know how to love me good

Guys my age don't know how to keep me

Don't know how to keep me

Don't know how to keep me

Guys my age don't know how to touch me

Don't know how to love me good

[Bridge]

So I'm never going back

No, I'm never going back

[Chorus]

Guys my age don't know how to treat me

Don't know how to please me

Don't know how to read me

Guys my age don't know how to touch me

Don't know how to love me good

Guys my age don't know how to tease me

Don't know how to lead me

Don't know how to need me

Guys my age don't know how to touch me

Don't know how to love me good

[Outro]

So, I'm never going back

Don't know, don't know, don't know

No, I'm never going back

Don't know how to touch me

Don't know how to love me good

So, I'm never going back

No, I'm never going back
