Boyfriend Material
Ariana Grande Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now I've been looking for someone
Trying to find the right boy to wear on my arm
I must admit it
You simply fit it
You were like a cut from the rest
That's why you're winning (hey)

Every night when
I close my eyes, I can see you
My perfect type
And I never really thought my dreams would come true
Until I laid eyes on you
'Cause you know you are

Boyfriend material
Boyfriend material
That's what you're made of
It's written on your label
Boyfriend material, ma ma material
Want everyone to know your my

Boyfriend material
Boyfriend material (boy)
Boyfriend material
Ma ma material
Want everyone to know that

You and your perfect smile
Are both timeless and never going out of style
There's so many reasons you got it together
When I'm catching feelings
You make me look better (better, better)

Every night when



I close my eyes, I can see you
My perfect type
And I never really thought my dreams would come true
Until I laid eyes on you
'Cause you know you are
