Boyfriend
Coin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Young heart, oh what a waste
Especially for such a pretty face, now
It's too bad in any case
I guess I'll be the one that got away

So go, go
Try your sad style on somebody else
No, no
Stay away with your sad songs

I don't wanna be your boyfriend
When you need a little company
I don't wanna be your boyfriend, no
When there's not another phone to ring
Friday night, you call me up
But you got my number wrong
I don't wanna be your boyfriend
Your boyfriend, your boyfriend
No, oh, oh

So cool with a cigarette
Your greatest hits on tape cassette
Brand new Dior jacket on
A cracked screen on your telephone, oh no

So go, go
Try your sad style on somebody else
No, no
Stay away with your sad songs

I don't wanna be your boyfriend
When you need a little company
I don't wanna be your boyfriend, no
When there's not another phone to ring
Friday night, you call me up
But you got my number wrong
I don't wanna be your boyfriend
Your boyfriend, your boyfriend
No, oh, oh

No, oh, oh
No, oh, oh
No, oh, oh
You heard it wrong, you heard it wrong
No, oh, oh
No, oh, oh
No, oh, oh
You heard it wrong, you heard it wrong

I'm not your boyfriend
When you need a little company
Ah, I'm not your boyfriend
When there's not another phone to ring
Friday night, you call me up
But you got my number wrong
I don't wanna be your boyfriend




Your boyfriend, your boyfriend
No, no, no

Overall Meaning

The song Boyfriend by Coin is about rejecting someone's advances and attempts to get closer in a romantic relationship. The lyrics talk about a person with a young heart and a pretty face who seems to be wasting their potential by trying to stick with an unhappy relationship. The singer seems to have been approached by this person and is not interested in being their boyfriend. The lines "So go, go/Try your sad style on somebody else/No, no/Stay away with your sad songs" express the singer's desire for the other person to leave them alone because they're not interested in being a part of their misery. In the chorus, the singer reiterates their disinterest in being a boyfriend by saying, "I don't wanna be your boyfriend/When you need a little company."


The singer describes the other person as someone who is very cool with their cigarette, cassette tapes of their greatest hits, and a brand new Dior jacket. However, the singer is still not impressed with the other person and does not want to be with them. The line "You heard it wrong, you heard it wrong" at the end seems to imply that the other person misunderstood the singer's intentions, but the singer is making it clear that they do not want to be in a romantic relationship with them.


Overall, the song is about setting boundaries and not settling for an unhappy relationship just because someone has a pretty face or cool outfit. It's a reminder that being single and content is often better than being in a relationship that doesn't make you happy.
