Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know what you want, and I know what you need.
But I'm goin' screw it up, yeah
'Cause I'm an idiot, and I'm your boyfriend, yes I am.
I'm goin' take you out, and leave my wallet home.
Then I use your cellphone, baby, long distance, and I'm your boyfriend.
Baby I know I'm a man who's made mistakes.
I still got some learning to do.
I made out with your best friend the other day
And now we're best friends too, Yeah Yeah
And I know what you want, and I know what you need.
But I'm goin' screw it up, yeah
'Cause I'm and idiot, and I'm your boyfriend, yes I am.
And I'm goin' get you a gift,
Hey! But it's something I like too.
Hope you like this Norelco beard trimmer with my name on it,
And I'm your boyfriend.
Hey da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da
Goin' get real drunk, and call my baby up
At four o'clock in the morning
Wake you up. I'm an idiot!
Pick up the phone, come on. I love you.
Lets get in my dad's SUV, And we'll go over to my house,
My crib, my pad. I'll tell my mom to go to sleep.
Then we'll have the living room all to ourselves, you see.
We'll put on some great DVD's I picked up.
How bout like, something like the Matrix.
Oh
Ah
I can turn my boombox up,
And make the bass smack the side of my mom's couch
Yeah!
Hey baby you like fine cooking?
Cause you know what?
I got a Swanson's dinner in the freezer with your name on it.
Check it out
Yeah!
I got a permanent wave, yeah! I got an Ogilvy home perm, baby
Uh! I honk the horn can you honk the horn?
Can you honk the horn? Let me hear you honk it! Come on!
Let me hear you say uh uh! Yeah
Let me hear you say uh uh uh! yeah
Let me hear you say uh uh! Yeah
Let me hear you say uh uh uh uh uh uh uh oh yeah!
Let me hear you say uh uh uh uh uh uh uh oh yeah!
Jimmy Fallon's 'Idiot Boyfriend' is a song about a man who is madly in love with his girlfriend but is also an idiot. The lyrics of the song make it clear that the boyfriend does not always make the best decisions or say the right things, but he is still trying his best to impress his girlfriend. The humor in the song is derived from the irony that the boyfriend is fully aware of his ways but seems to take pride in them, confirming his idiocy.
The song is peppered with several instances of the boyfriend's foolish behavior, such as forgetting his wallet, making long-distance calls on his girlfriend's phone, and buying her a gift he secretly wants. There is also a reference to the boyfriend making out with his girlfriend's best friend but now being on friendly terms with her. The lyrics of the song convey the boyfriend's complete disregard for conventional dating rules, and his desire to do things his way, even if they don't make sense. The song's outro mimics the boyfriend's antics with funny sounds and invites listeners to sing along to the odd phrases.
