Boyfriend
Janitor Joe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gimme
Gimme
Gimme here right now
Said can you heal me
Come on to me
Come on here right now
I never had
What I want
Never had it all
So gimme
Gimme
Gimme here right now

Turn the tables around
I haven't got you alone
It's been the talk of the town
I haven't got the balls

Gimme
Gimme
Gimme here right now
Said can you heal me
Come on to me
Come on here right now
I never had
What I want
Never had it all
So gimme
Gimme
Gimme here right now

Turn the tables around
I haven't got you alone
It's been the talk of the town
I haven't got the balls

Gimme
Gimme
Gimme here right now
Said can you heal me
Come on to me
Come on here right now
I never had you
The way I want you
The way I want you now
So gimme
Gimme
Gimme here right now

Turn the tables around
I haven't got you alone




It's been the talk of the town
I haven't got the balls

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Janitor Joe's song "Boyfriend" are simple and straightforward, yet they convey a sense of desperation and longing. The singer of the song is asking for what she has never had and what she wants desperately - her boyfriend, who seems to be out of reach or unattainable.

The repetition of the phrase "gimme, gimme, gimme" reinforces the sense of desperation and longing.


The second verse of the song takes a slightly different turn. The singer admits that she hasn't had her boyfriend alone, and that their relationship has been the talk of the town. She acknowledges her own shortcomings, stating that she doesn't have the "balls" to initiate the kind of relationship she desires. Despite this, she continues to implore him, repeating the chorus once again.


Overall, "Boyfriend" is a song about longing, desire, and desperation. It speaks to the difficulties of relationships and the sense of vulnerability that often accompanies them.
