Boyfriend Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Let’s be honest
We don’t got a lot in common when it comes down to it
You can take his breath away
And light up every room when you walk through it
But I don’t want your six-foot legs and angel face and sophistication
Don’t really want to cause a scene but girl you’ve got everything

[Chorus]
And I want your boyfriend
I’m not gonna lie
I’ll be his girl when he tells you goodbye
Don’t worry I won’t take him cause I ain’t that low
I want your boyfriend
Just thought you should know


[Verse 2]
That he and I go back so far
Oh my gosh we lived in his first truck
First time we heard Shania Twain
Think we were on our way to Lubbock
And I know you think he loves you now
Seen so many girls come in and out
It sounds a bit insensitive but the truth is what it is

[Chorus]
And I want your boyfriend
I’m not gonna lie
I’ll be his girl when he tells you goodbye
Don’t worry I won’t take him cause I ain’t that low
I want your boyfriend
Just thought you should know

[Bridge]
Don’t know why you act so surprised
Can’t you see it in his eyes?
You must’ve known it all this time, yeah
But I want your boyfriend to tell you the truth
I’ll be right there when he gets over you
What’s meant to be will always find its way in the end

[Outro]
I want your boyfriend
I’m not gonna lie
I’ll be his girl when he tells you goodbye

Don’t worry I won’t take him cause I ain’t that low
I want your boyfriend
I want your boyfriend
I want your boyfriend
Just thought you should know

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

“Boyfriend” is RaeLynn’s debut single (although not released to radio) and fourth track on her debut EP, Me. It’s an ode to stealing somebody’s man, but it’s written to his current girlfriend. However, RaeLynn is classier than just stealing him; she’ll be so irresistible that he’ll have to start dating her.
