Song Lyrics

Sweet sixteen's a beautiful thing for the small town hopes
And big city dreams
Your diary's filled with getaway plans then he sweeps in
And just like that
You're rewriting your story for him
All your wishes are gone away through wind
Well if you think that he's all that there is

Think outside the boy
Look right past his charm
He's not your definition
No, he ain't who you are
If you don't love yourself
He sure ain't gonna help
There's so much more to life than living like his wind-up toy
Think outside the boy, ooh
Think outside the boy

Well I've been there, yeah
I believed that he was my forever
He was all I'd ever need
But I gave up what I wanted
And I gave him control
I lost myself in a deep, dark hole
I'm here to tell you that it's never too late
To cut the strings and to take back your fate
You'll find yourself again along the way

Just think outside the boy
Look right past his charm
He's not your definition
No, he ain't who you are
If you don't love yourself
You sure ain't gonna help
There's so much more to life than living like his wind-up toy

Oh, when the right boy comes along
He won't make you choose
When the right one comes along
He'll love that you think outside the boy
Oh, think outside the boy

If you don't love yourself
He sure ain't gonna help
There's so much more to life than living like his wind-up toy
Think outside the boy, ooh
Think outside the boy
