Boyfriend Lyrics

[Chorus]
If I was your boyfriend, I would treat you right
Put you in a house on picture-perfect drive
I don't know his name or what the hell he's waitin' on
But if I was your boyfriend, I wouldn't be your boyfriend long

[Verse 1]
I know you got a man, but he ain't got no plans
Puts teardrops on your face, but he ain't put one on your hand
Must not know what he's got, he's somewhere that you're not
So he won't mind if I just shoot my shot, hey

[Chorus]
If I was your boyfriend, I would treat you right
Put you in a house on picture-perfect drive
I don't know his name or what the hell he's waitin' on
But if I was your boyfriend, I wouldn't be your boyfriend long

[Verse 2]
Yeah, girl, it's just too bad, if I had what hе had
I'd be huggin' on your mama, going fishin' with your dad
Don't mean to move too fast, but you know it ain't gon' last
I'm your futurе, you should put him in the past, girl

[Chorus]
If I was your boyfriend, I would treat you right
Put you in a house on picture-perfect drive
I don't know his name or what the hell he's waitin' on
But if I was your boyfriend, I wouldn't be your boyfriend long
[Bridge]
Yeah, you wasted enough time on him, girl, come take mine
Go on and let him go, 'cause you already know that

[Chorus]
If I was your boyfriend, I would treat you right
Put you in a house on picture-perfect drive
I don't know his name or what the hell he's waitin' on
But if I was your boyfriend, I wouldn't be your boyfriend long

[Outro]
No, I don't know what he's thinking
I don't know what he's waitin' on
I'd put a ring right on your finger
Yeah, girl, I wouldn't be your boyfriend long

How to Format Lyrics:

What did Parmalee say about "Boyfriend"?
Genius Answer

You’re in love with a girl who’s getting treated badly and all you can think is if she was yours, you would treat her right and put a ring on her finger. The melody and production has a bit of a Country-Punk vibe, and I think it’s going to add some fun energy and attitude to our set.
