Lyrics Carrie Hope Fletcher - Boys in Books are Better

It started off with Jacob,
But then Edward came along
I had a thing for Emmett
But my love for Jasper's strong

Or maybe even Carlisle
But that would just be strange
These boys in books are better
'cause they're never gonna change

I wish I was Hermione
'cause those Weasley boys are fit
And I'd date Draco Malfoy
If I thought he would commit
Or maybe Cedric Diggory
Oh, but he's in Hufflepuff

These boys in books are better
And I just can't get enough
Of reading everything about them
These guys we'll always depend upon

And maybe there's a guy out there just like them
Who's looking for a girl like Bella Swan... Nah!

These boys in books are better
'cause they'll be here forever
And we'll always be together

And you can take me bowling
If you were made up by Rowling

I was sold on Gale
Who's strong and brave and tall
But then she gave us Peeta
Who I think confused us all

But Finnick's where my heart is
So Annie, move aside!
But why couldn't I have fallen for
The ones that didn't die?

Don't even get me started
On Pride and Prejudice
I've looked for Mr Darcy
Girls, he really don't exist

But then again, there's Bingley
So Jane, get out of the way
'cause I love a bit of cheesiness
And I love a good cliche

So boys I hope you're taking a notice
'cause I'm one in a huge majority
I think that I'm more of a Luna Lovegood
But if you ask me nice, I could be your Ginny

These boys in books are better
'cause they'll be here forever
And we'll always be together
And you could be a player
But I won't care if you're by Meyer

Don't make me use Accio
Come on, Darcy
And please bring Draco
Finnick's body
With Edward's looks
But hurry up
Before I close the book

These boys in books are better
'cause they'll be here forever
And we'll always be together
And you can be my man
If you've been written by Suzanne

These boys in books are better
'cause they'll be here forever
And we'll always be together
And I know it's an addiction
That I'm in love with fiction
But as long as I'm still breathing
I just have to keep on reading

And it's gonna be red letter
When I find a guy that's better
Than Edward, Jacob, Emmett,
Jasper, Harry, Ron and Draco,
Cedric, Peeta, Gale, but I want Finnick
Darcy, Bingley, Wickham, no chance

Edward, Jacob, Emmett,
Jasper, Harry, Ron and Draco,
Cedric, Peeta, Gale, but I want Finnick
Darcy, Bingley, Wickham, no chance
((Boys in books are better
they'll be here forever)
(Boys in books are better
They'll be here forever)
(And it's gonna be red letter
When I find a guy that's better)
(And it's gonna be red letter
When I find a guy that's better))

And it's gonna be red letter
When I find a guy that's better than you
