My Boyfriend's Back
Chris Bailey and The Spazzys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My boyfriend's back and your gonna be in trouble.
When you see him better cut off on the double.
You've been spreading lies that I was untrue.
So look out now because he's coming after you.

Yeah he knows what you've been trying
And he knows that you've been lying.
He's been gone for such a long time.
Now he's back and things'll be fine.
Your gonna be sorry you were ever born.
Coz he's kinda big and he's awful strong.

And I can see him coming.
So you better start running.
What made you think he'd believe all your lies
You're a big man now but he'll cut you down to size.

Wait and see.
My boyfriends back, he's gonna save my reputation.
If I were you I'd take a permanent vacation.
Yeah he knows I wasn't cheating.
And your gonna get a beating.
Whoooooh, Whoooooh wait and see.

My boyfriends back he's gonna save my reputation.
If I were you I'd take a permanent vacation.




Yeah my boyfriends back
Yeah, yeah my boyfriend's back.

Overall Meaning

The song "My Boyfriend's Back" by Chris Bailey and The Spazzys is a classic revenge anthem that tells the story of a girl whose boyfriend has returned to town after a long absence. The girl has apparently been the victim of rumors and lies about her infidelity and her boyfriend is coming back to set the record straight. The song is directed towards the person who has been spreading the rumors, warning them that they better watch out because her boyfriend is on the way and they are going to be in trouble.


The lyrics are full of attitude and resolve, with the girl making it clear that she is not to be messed with. The chorus, with its repetition of the line "My boyfriend's back", is a powerful statement of her confidence in him and his ability to protect her. The closing lines, "Yeah my boyfriend's back, yeah yeah my boyfriend's back", are a triumphant declaration of victory over her detractors.


Overall, the song is a fun and catchy example of the girl group sound that was popular in the early 1960s. It's no surprise that it has remained a classic and a favorite of fans of the genre to this day.

Chris Bailey is great. The Saints were amazing. Used to go see the live as they were from my home town. Don't think many people are aware of how influential they were one the world punk scene...they were there at the start & set the tone for many bands to come!
