The lyrics of BTOB's Lover Boy talk about a man who can't forget his past love and still wants her more than anything. The beginning of the song reflects his difficulty in saying goodbye, but he also knows that it is what it is, and the boyz in the house understand that. He feels love for her and wants her, but he knows that he cannot bring her back no matter how much he wants her. He remembers the memories of the day that they first met and how happy he was with her at the time. He remembers how desperate he felt when they broke up and how he felt like nothing could replace her.
The man in the song talks about how he doesn't know how to forget his past love and that he still wants her, and only her. He tells her not to say goodbye, but he knows that he cannot change anything, and she has already gone. He still remembers her as the one that got away, and he is alone without her. He feels helpless and blue without her, and wants nothing more than to have her back so he can love her. Overall, the lyrics of Lover Boy convey the sense of longing and sadness that someone feels after they have lost the person that they loved the most.

Strangely although this song is NOT that popular, for me, this is one of my favs and IMO one of their best songs altogether.
@r.a.l.2004
I've been a fan of BTOB for YEARS and I literally didn't know this song existed until yesterday (bc I almost never listened to the album its from) and OMG you are so right and I completely agree. Within a day its already one of my all time favorites. You have great taste in music ^_^

I'm already 30 years old and never have crossed my mind that I will fall in love so hard to kpop music/any idols. Hhahahaha
I'm late bloomer and I just discovered them only this 2020.
I can't start and end my day without hearing any btob songs, variety show. They always make me laugh and cry over their beautiful music. btob has their own genre. 💙 #StanTalentStanBTOB
