Boyfriend
B. Gibbs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby give me a minute, I'm trying to understand
What would it take, for me to be your boyfriend
No hesitation, I wanna take your hand
So roll with me, so I can be your boyfriend
Excuse me, can I have a minute, baby?
I just wanna talk to you
Has anyone said how fine you look?
Well, cuz hell they ought to
Maybe they're just unprepared
Way too scared of your reaction
Speaking of actions, nice smile!
Baby let's get this cracking!
Hearts filled with passion
And the atmosphere is so relaxing
See how I got you laughing out so loud
Them ladies want a piece of this action
But I ain't passing
In fact, baby girl look here, I'm asking
What more will it take to be your mate
And heal this fatal attraction?
Tell me is it money? Got it!
Or is it fashion? Shopping!
Do you got a fetish, baby?
Look, tell me what's all of my options?
Do you need a car? Nah...
Well then I don't understand
What more will it take to be your mate
And possibly be your man?
Baby give me a minute, I'm trying to understand
What would it take, for me to be your boyfriend
No hesitation, I wanna take your hand
So roll with me, so I can be your boyfriend
I'm too man-ish to let the chance slip by
So I took advantage of her hand & simply told her "Hi"
I looked her in the eyes
As if it were by surprise
She gazed & then replied
"You ain't like them other guys!"
Which one? Pick one!
They all are the same!
Different race, but same lane
Swear they all running game!
You've guessed it! They lame!
Cuz every dog has its day
But I'm the The Big Man on Campus
Call me The Great Dane
And I don't plan on leaving
Until I get your name
Plus them contacts & your addy
And I'm a hit you with the same, look boo
I know you stopped scoping
Because your heart's broken
Enough of them games
My love will be your hearts token
We need to start hoping
And pray for better days
Cuz with all this loneliness between us
I can't see no other way
Baby give me a minute, I'm trying to understand
What would it take, for me to be your boyfriend




No hesitation, I wanna take your hand
So roll with me, so I can be your boyfriend

Freddie has more balls and confidence than 99% of Hell’s Kitchen contestants, and I’m including the adults.

@royaltinman2226

I mean if that kid wasn't a kid, Gordan probably would have murdered him on stage

@WanderingSoul39

I think I need to start watching Masterchef junior seem fun.

@a_l7515

You are right though, Freddie is a lot more confident than some Hells Kitchen contestants and they know who they are and they could speak for themselves.
