Noo Nooo
Oooh No No
Wait a minute just for a move like you?re
Let me explain so we don?t get confused
Holl up in the streets sayin that you?re my boo
Just cause we kick it don?t read too much into it
I can't do it like you do, so
So when you?re out sayin we, I?m too committed to me
Smoking like a real G
I?m sayin
I treat you like my only dude
But you?re not my boyfriend, but you?re not my boyfriend
Candlelight dinners, round trips for two
But you?re not my boyfriend, but you?re not my boyfriend
You can even roll with another chick I?m down for whatever
I ain?t gonna trip that?s cool
So don?t be thinking I?m in love with you
?Cause you?re not my boyfriend, ?cause you?re not my boyfriend
I don?t mean to put it out there like that
But I gotta be true to me and you
Setting these rules are gonna help us understand how we should move
Now now now now now
I don?t mean later now now now
Don't gotta say who when where or how
But Imma do me, ooooh
I treat you like my only dude
But you?re not my boyfriend, but you?re not my boyfriend
Candlelight dinners, round trips for two
But you?re not my boyfriend, but you?re not my boyfriend
You can even roll with another chick I?m down for whatever
I ain?t gonna trip that?s cool
So don?t be thinking I?m in love with you
?Cause you?re not boyfriend, ?cause you?re not my boyfriend
So when you see me I?ll keep it movin
Don?t interrupt me when you see me groovin
I?ll heat you up let you know I?m (?) feelin'
In the mood for some sexual healin'
Yeah you know how we do, make you do what it do
We?ll get it poppin til the mornin? on and on
But until then
This is just a sing say
Don?t gotta change a thing, feel what I?m saying
I treat you like my only dude
But you?re not my boyfriend, but you?re not my boyfriend
Candlelight dinners, round trips for two
But you?re not my boyfriend, but you?re not my boyfriend
You can even roll with another chick I?m down for whatever
I ain?t gonna trip that?s cool
So don?t be thinking I?m in love with you
?Cause you?re not boyfriend, ?cause you?re not my boyfriend
We got this, oh we got this
We got this no they can't stop us
We got this, oh we got this
We got this, so I'mma sing say
All my ladies do them like they do you
Don?t be making them play you or fool you
Keep them guessing, keep their head spinning
Hopin you?re feeling this vibe that I?m bringing?
I treat you like my only dude
But you?re not my boyfriend, but you?re not my boyfriend
Candlelight dinners, round trips for two
But you?re not boyfriend, but you?re not my boyfriend
You can even roll with another chick I?m down for whatever
I ain?t gonna trip that?s cool
So don?t be thinking I?m in love with you
?Cause you?re not boyfriend, ?cause you?re not my boyfriend
I treat you like my only dude
But you?re not my boyfriend, but you?re not my boyfriend
Candlelight dinners, round trips for two
But you?re not my boyfriend, but you?re not my boyfriend
You can even roll with another chick I?m down for whatever
I ain?t gonna trip that?s cool
So don?t be thinking I?m in love with you
?Cause you?re not my boyfriend, ?cause you?re not my boyfriend
The lyrics to "Boyfriend" by Brick & Lace are all about setting boundaries and making it clear that someone is not your boyfriend, despite the romantic gestures and activities you may engage in with them. The singer in the song explains that just because they hang out and enjoy romantic dinners and trips together, it doesn't mean that they are in a committed relationship. The singer objects to their friend acting too possessive, telling them not to take things too far, as they are not exclusive. The song's message is clear- it's possible for two people to enjoy each other's company, without having a relationship that involves titles and commitment.
The chorus repeats the central message- that the singer is treating someone like their boyfriend, but they are not their boyfriend. This is echoed in the song's bridge, where the singer reiterates that while they enjoy spending time with this person, they don't want to be tied down or restricted by a relationship. Ultimately, the song's message is about communication and setting boundaries. By letting someone know where they stand, the singer is able to enjoy a more relaxed and fulfilling relationship with their friend without any unwanted expectations or pressure.

You don't have to change your behavior, just understand where I'm coming from
All my ladies do them like they do you
All my female listeners should treat their partners the way I treat mine

Don't let your partner deceive or manipulate you
Keep them guessing, keep their head spinning
Keep your partner on their toes, keep them intrigued by your behavior

I hope you are enjoying the vibe that I'm putting out there
We got this, oh we got this
We have this relationship under control
We got this no they can't stop us
We're in control, no one can interfere
So I'mma sing say
I'm going to express myself through song
