Guys My Age Lyrics

I 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

'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

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

All he ever wanted was to throw 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

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

So I'm never going back
No, I'm never going back

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 leave 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

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

Can't Take Back the Bullet

I 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

'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

All he ever wanted was to throw 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

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

So I'm never going back
No, I'm never going back

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

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think in the song the girl's basically singing to a guy about how she feels and how 'guys her age' dont know how to treat her right and her last boyfriend didn't treat her right and know she knows what she's looking for because of him. In the last lyrics, "im never going back" I think she's saying she'll never go back to guys like her last boyfriend who treated her bad and who are 'her age'. I think now after her last boy encounter she will be with boys who are older whom she thinks will be better boys and treat her better because they're older and 'more mature."

I have no idea if this is really what this song is about, but it feels a lot like it’s about daddy issues. Since most women with daddy issues are attracted to older men, it reminds me of “Guys my age don’t know how to treat, don’t know how to please me, don’t know how to read me”. And then again: “Gotta thank him, he’s the reason, that I’ll find what I’m looking for”, like, she has been in a relationship with a guy her age and she realized it’s not what she wants. “Cause you hold me like a woman, in a way I’ve never felt before”, a man older than her treats her the right way, the man is more mature and knows how to make a woman like her feel right. “So I’m never going back”, she knows what she wants, and she knows she’s not going back to men her age.
