Boyfriend
2PM Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Acting like a man
Acting like a boyfriend
I can take whatever I want in my hands

Acting like a man
Acting like a boyfriend
I can take whatever I want in my hands

그를 보여줬어
네게 난 편한 친구니까
여전히 내 맘을 모르는 건지 척 하는 건지

근데 이 자식 이상해
너를 막 대하는 듯이
그렇게 널 보내고 묘하게 후회가 돼

나와 함께라면 지금보다
더 행복 할 텐데
항상 니 옆에서 널 지켜봐
줄 수 있는데

If I was your boyfriend 두 번 다신
I won't let you go
난 편한 사이가 싫어
처음부터 잘못 됐어

너 그에게 사랑한단 말 하지 마 he's just a boy
어린애 같아 속지 마
눈을 보면 푹 빠져 보여
그 boyfriend 때문에 너 울게 될 것 같아 걱정 돼

Woo, woo, woo 너 가지 마
Woo, woo, woo 그에게는
사랑하지 않아
그는 너를 잘 알지도 못해

그를 만나러 가는 니 모습
어울리지 않는다는 것을
완벽한 남자라고 생각하겠지만
그렇지 않아
그런 널 바라보는 내 마음이 아파
일분 일초라도 그가
너의 향기를 맡고 너의 피부에 닿고
그런 상상 속에 사로잡혀 숨을 쉴 수가 없어
내 심장이 멈춰 어서
날 이 악몽에서 깨워
이 세상에 나보다 널 사랑할 사람은 없어
He doesn't even know you
He doesn't even love you

나와 함께라면 지금보다
더 행복 할 텐데
항상 니 옆에서 널 지켜봐
줄 수 있는데

If I was your boyfriend 두 번 다신
I won't let you go
난 편한 사이가 싫어
처음부터 잘못 됐어

너 그에게 사랑한단 말 하지 마 he's just a boy
어린애 같아 속지 마
눈을 보면 푹 빠져 보여
그 boyfriend 때문에 너
울게 될 것 같아 걱정 돼

Woo, woo, woo 너 가지 마
Woo, woo, woo 그에게는
사랑하지 않아
그는 너를 잘 알지도 못해

너 그에게 사랑한단 말 하지 마 he's just a boy
어린애 같아 속지 마
눈을 보면 푹 빠져 보여
그 boyfriend 때문에 너
울게 될 것 같아 걱정 돼

Woo, woo, woo 너 가지 마
Woo, woo, woo 그에게는

사랑하지 않아
그는 너를 잘 알지도 못해

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of 2PM's song "Boyfriend" convey a sense of frustration and concern towards someone who is involved with a person that the singer believes is not worthy of their affection. The song's lyrics express the singer's desire to be the one to protect and make the person happy, emphasizing their superiority over the current boyfriend figure. They claim to possess the qualities of a real man and a true boyfriend, suggesting that they would be a better match for the person they are addressing.

The lyrics also imply a level of disbelief and disappointment in the person's judgment, as they question why the person continues to be involved with someone who does not understand their feelings or treat them with care. It is apparent that the singer is frustrated by the person's blindness to the perceived inadequacies of their current partner. The repeated refrain "naega boyeojwosseo" (acting like a boyfriend) emphasizes this frustration and underscores the singer's belief that they would be a better fit for the person.

Throughout the song, the singer warns the person against professing their love to the current boyfriend, as they believe he is only a boy and not capable of reciprocating genuine love. The singer urges the person to be cautious and not be swayed by their emotions, as they worry that the person will end up hurt because of the boyfriend figure. The lyrics highlight the singer's concern for the person's well-being and their desire to protect them from potential heartache.

Line by Line Meaning

Acting like a man
Displaying a confident and assertive demeanor

Acting like a boyfriend
Behaving in a loving and caring manner, as a romantic partner would

I can take whatever I want in my hands
Feeling empowered and capable of achieving any desired outcome

I showed him to you
I introduced him to you

Because I am comfortable as your friend
Because I feel at ease and relaxed in our friendship

I don't know if he still doesn't understand my feelings or pretends not to
I am uncertain whether he is genuinely unaware of my emotions or is intentionally pretending

But this guy is strange
However, there is something odd about him

It seems like I'm treating you badly
It appears as if I am mistreating you

But strangely, I regret letting you go
Unexpectedly, I feel a sense of remorse after sending you away

If I was your boyfriend, never again
If I were in a romantic relationship with you, there would never be another time

I won't let you go
I would not allow you to leave

I dislike being in a comfortable state
I do not prefer being in a casual and comfortable relationship

It was wrong from the beginning
Our relationship was flawed right from the start

Don't say those words of love to him, he's just a boy
Don't express your love to him, as he is immature

Don't be deceived by his childishness
Don't be tricked by his youthful and naive behavior

By looking into your eyes, it seems like you're deeply falling
By observing your gaze, it appears as if you are falling deeply in love

I'm worried that because of that boyfriend, you'll end up crying
I am concerned that due to that boyfriend, you will be brought to tears

Woo, woo, woo, don't possess him
Woo, woo, woo, don't claim ownership of him

Woo, woo, woo, he doesn't even love
Woo, woo, woo, he doesn't even have genuine feelings of love

He doesn't even know you
He doesn't even have a proper understanding of who you are

Your appearance going to meet him
The way you look when going to meet him

Doesn't suit you
Doesn't match your personality or style

You might think he's the perfect man
You might believe he is the ideal partner

But that's not the case
However, that is not true

It pains me to see you like that
It hurts me to witness you in such a situation

Even for a minute or a second, he can smell your scent and touch your skin
Even if it's only for a short moment, he can experience your fragrance and feel your touch on his skin

I am captivated by such imagination and cannot breathe
I am imprisoned by such fantasies and find it hard to catch my breath

My heart stops, please wake me up from this nightmare
My heart ceases to beat, please bring me out of this distressing dream

There is no one in this world who would love you more than me
No one in this world would love you more than I do

If I was your boyfriend, never again
If I were to become your boyfriend, there would never be another time
