[Verse 1] When my self-esteem is nearly empty When my self control is almost gone When I feel the need for someone reassuring me That I'm OK Don’t leave me on my own [Verse 2] When I'm having problems With my vision When I think you're wishing I would leave When I fail to see Exactly what you see in me Just hold me a little bit closer 'Til I become the air you breathe, ‘cause [Chorus] Boys need to be told they're beautiful Boys need to be told there's someone on their side Boys need to be told There’s nothing that can change them in your eyes Could be the only time they hear it in their lives [Verse 3] When I'm having doubts about my value When I think I'm doing something wrong When I don't believe you're gonna keep me very long Just hold me a little bit closer 'Cause I need you to make me strong [Chorus] Boys need to be told they're beautiful Boys need to be told there's someone on their side Boys need to be told There’s nothing that can change them in your eyes Could be the only time they hear it in their lives
