Layla's Boyfriend
Words and music by Rhett Holland 2024

Layla kissed me after school yesterday
Had to tell her I don’t love her that way
She wrote me and said she wants to be more than friends
I wrote a response and thought it was better unsent

Layla says she’s waiting and I shouldn’t be slow
But if I date her, maybe later, it won’t be the way to go

I don’t wanna be
I don’t wanna be
Layla’s boyfriend
Cause what she doesn’t know
Won’t hurt, it goes to show
I’m crushing on her best friend

Layla says that she wants to take me out now
I wanna go to Wendy’s, she wants Mr. Chow
Here we are now, too bad we haven’t left
She got up and ran and stuck me with the check

I don’t wanna be
I don’t wanna be
Layla’s boyfriend
Cause what she has in mind
Is to rob me blind
And I can’t let that go

Layla wants to call it off
I wouldn’t bat an eye, you wouldn’t hear me scoff
Layla wants to call it off
Layla wants to call it off

I don’t wanna be
I don’t wanna be
Layla’s boyfriend
Cause what she doesn’t know
Won’t hurt, it goes to show
I’m crushing on her best friend
I don’t wanna be
I don’t wanna be
Layla’s boyfriend
Cause what she has in mind
Is to rob me blind
And I can’t let that go
