Meantime Boy Lyrics by Earl of Manila

Halo-Halo

2022

{Verse 1: Earl}
You ring me up at 2am
No surprise it's you again
Crying on the phone 'bout him
So what's he done this time
I grab my keys I'm heading out
I think I know what it’s about
I'm kinda hoping but I got doubts
I wanna make you mine
{Chorus: Earl}
'Cause I'd hate to be your meantime boy
(I don't wanna, I don't wanna be)
But I'm the one you run to
Does he really know about you
'Cause I'd hate to be your meantime boy
(I don't wanna, I don't wanna be)
But I can't be without you
'Cause I'd rather be this, I'd rather be this than nothing at all
{Verse 2: Earl}
I'd like to think that we could be
More than this but you can't see
You're way too busy telling me
That everything's just fine
But I know it ain't so why do you
Waste your time with such a fool
Who can't treat you like I do
But I'd be out of line (out of line)
{Chorus: Earl, Pau}
'Cause I'd hate to be your meantime boy
(I don't wanna, I don't wanna be)
But I'm the one you run to
Does he really know about you
'Cause I'd hate to be your meantime boy
(I don't wanna, I don't wanna be)
But I can't be without you
'Cause I'd rather be this, I'd rather be this than nothing at all
{Bridge: Earl, Pau}
I just wanna be more, I just wanna be more
I don’t wanna to be your
I just wanna be more, I just wanna be more
I don’t wanna to be your
I just wanna be more, I just wanna be more
I don’t wanna to be your
I just wanna be more, I just wanna be more
Why can't I be yours
{Chorus: Earl, Pau}
'Cause I'd hate to be your meantime boy
(I don't wanna, I don't wanna be)
But I'm the one you run to
Does he really know about you
(Does he really know 'bout you)
'Cause I'd hate to be your meantime boy
(I don't wanna, I don't wanna be)
But I can't be without you
'Cause I'd rather be this, I'd rather be this than nothing at all
{Chorus: Earl, Pau}
'Cause I'd hate to be your meantime boy
I'd rather be this than nothing at all
Maybe you're the one, I never knew I needed
'Cause I'd hate to be your meantime boy
I'd rather be this than nothing at all
Maybe you're the one, I never knew I needed
I'd rather be this than nothing at all
