lyrics

Would you mind if I kept it clean
Or if rice and beans were my favorite meal?
I could take you out for a simple date
As long as we're in bed by half past eight
Will you stay if I fill your cup?
That mug you're holding ain't big enough
I roll into summer but play it low
I'm not looking to steal the show

I wanna be boring
I wanna play it safe
Although they say never say never
I know I'm forever gonna be this way
I don't wanna be your good time
I just wanna be good
And then at the end of the day
I'll stop and I'll pray
And this is what I'll say:
I wanna be boring
I wanna be boring

Will you walk with me down this road?
But grab your coat 'cause it's gettin cold
We can make our way over to Franklin Park
Stay a little while but be back by dark
Will you mind if I just wanna read?
I can't keep up with my high-tech screen
Hum a little melody, humble but flow
I'm not looking to steal the show

I wanna be boring
I wanna play it safe
Although they say never say never
I know I'm forever gonna be this way
I don't wanna be your good time
I just wanna be good
And then at the end of the day
I'll stop and I'll pray
And this is what I'll say:
I wanna be boring
I wanna be boring

My love
Living is finer with my love
Road’s a bit brighter with my love
Can you feel it too?
Try love
If you find a diamond like my love
Be sure to mine it tonight, love
And you'll feel it, too
