Boyfriend
Kaya Jones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What's goin' down?
It turned all out
I finally got the pices to fit
I got it right, somebody on the side
But I was not expecting this
I tried to guess her name
Tried to take the blame
This time I can't win this game
My boyfriend has a boyfriend now
And his girlfriend
Just figured it out
Ohh In my defence, it's hard to tell
Boys he sees just so well
My boyfriend got a boyfriend now
Ohh, yeah
Ohh, ohh
He never lied
When he said that I'm still his number one girl
And looking back
I finally noticed that I'm not the princess
In his fairytale world
I tried to guess her name
Tried to take the blame
This time I can't win this game
My boyfriend has a boyfriend now
And his girlfriend
Just figured it out
Ohh In my defence, it's hard to tell
Boys he sees just so well
My boyfriend got a boyfriend now
Ohh Oh, oh, yeah,
Ohh My boyfriend has a boyfriend now
And his girlfriend
Just figured it out
In my defence, it's hard to tell
Boys he sees just so well
My boyfriend got a boyfriend now
Ohh, yeah




Ohh, oh
Oh well...
