About the Boy is a song by Little Mix and appears as the eighth track on their second album Salute.
Critical Reception[]
Popcrush writer Amy Sciarretto stated: "Just call them En Mix with ‘About the Boy,’ since it reminds us of En Vogue’s ‘My Lovin’ (You’re Never Gonna Get It).’ But it’s not a throwback or a rip-off — come on now! It’s modern girl group and R&B-flecked pop. Stick around for the monster, Mariah Carey-like note in the bridge of this song. Mirrors will shatter if you play it at top volume."[1]

Jade:
Something about
Something about the boy
Something about
Something about the boy
Something about
Something about the boy
Just something about the boy
Jesy:
It's the verse in my head
The words that make me stutter
The swag in my step
The change from grey to color
A guaranteed bet
Oh, I found my lucky number
The feeling that you get
Can't help but make me wonder
Leigh-Anne:
No need to try
He's just right
Jade:
He's got that something
I can't let nobody tell me no
Leigh-Anne:
No I don't mind
Takes me high
Jade:
I won't stop until the boy is mine
Little Mix:
He got me good
I've got it bad
He got me feeling like a girl gone mad
Got me running around like I'm a love fool
Taking me down I can't stop
He got me up
I can't come down
He got me locked and I don't want out
I know he's playing my heart and I ain't got no choice
There's just something about the boy
Something about
Something about the boy
Something about
Something about the boy
Something about
Something about the boy
There's just something about the boy
Perrie:
It's the first time we met
The lightening to my thunder
The green light on red
The kiss that pulls me under
Fallin' for me
If you're the test I got the answer
And I'm all that you need
Now you finally get the chance to
Jade:
No need to try
He's just right
Leigh-Anne:
He's got that something
I can't let nobody tell me no
Jade:
No I don't mind
Takes me high
Leigh-Anne:
I won't stop until the boy is mine
Little Mix:
He got me good
I've got it bad
He got me feeling like a girl gone mad
Got me running around like I'm a love fool
Taking me down I can't stop
He got me up
I can't come down
He got me locked and I don't want out
I know he's playing my heart and I ain't got no choice
There's just something about the boy
Something about
Something about the boy (About the boy)
Something about
Something about the boy (About the boy)
Something about
Something about the boy
There's just something about the boy
Perrie (with Little Mix):
I know you like to play it slow
But I'm running out of time
It's like I lost my self control
('Cause you are the one)
(And you know what you've done)
(My poor heart's come undone)
Baby, please
Aaah, hahaha
Little Mix (Jade):
He got me good (He got me good)
I've got it bad
He got me feeling like a girl gone mad
Got me running around like I'm a love fool
Taking me down I can't stop (I can't stop)
He got me up
I can't come down
He got me locked and I don't want out (Leigh-Anne: Don't want out)
I know he's playing my heart and I ain't got no choice
(Jesy: I know he's playing my heart, yeah)
There's just something about the boy
Something about
Something about the boy (Perrie: There's just something about you)
Something about (About the boy)
Something about the boy (Perrie: There's just something about you, yeah)
Something about
Something about the boy (About the boy)
There's just something about the boy
Something about
Something about the boy (Jade: The boy)(About the boy)
Something about
Something about the boy (Jade: The boy)
Something about (About the boy)
Something about the boy
Just something about the boy
