Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And come back with the angels.
A girl group with a number one single
suddenly the road is much more interesting.
Two cars, three girls, four guys
infinate possibilities.
Hey la, hey la, my boyfriend's back
Hey, he knows I wasn't cheatin'
Now, you're gonna get a beatin'
What made you thing he'd believe all your lies
(Wah ooh, wah ooh)
You're a big man now, but he'll cut you down to size
(Wah ooh)
Wait and see!
My boyfriend's back he's gonna save my reputation
(hey la, hey la, my boyfriend's back)
If I were you, I'd take a permanent vacation
(hey la, hey la, my boyfriend's back)
You're gonna be sorry you were ever born
(hey la, hey la, my boyfriend's back)
'cause he's kind of big and he's awful strong
(hey la, hey la, my boyfriend's back)
Yeah my boyfriend's back
Well he's back now
My boyfriend's back
Well I can see him comin' so you better start a runnin' right now
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey la, hey la
Hey la, hey la
Hey la, hey la
My boyfriend's back
The song "My Boyfriend's Back," written by Bob Feldman, Jerry Goldstein, and Richard Gottehrer, is a classic example of a perfect doo-wop hit. The song was released in 1963 by the girl group The Angels, and it soon became a massive hit, reaching the top of the charts. The song is about a girl who is being accused of cheating on her boyfriend, but her boyfriend comes back to defend her, and the whole situation is resolved. The song is told from the perspective of the girl and the boyfriend. The catchy chorus, "hey la, hey la, my boyfriend's back," has become an iconic phrase that many people still remember to this day.
The song's lyrics are very simple but witty. The first verse tells the story of how the girl group The Angels met Frankie Valli, who introduced them to a promoter who gave them their big break in the music industry. The chorus is a repetitive "hey la," which is followed by the girl threatening somebody who falsely accused her of cheating. She knows that her boyfriend is coming back, and she says that the accuser will "get a beatin'" because of their lies. In the second verse, the girl warns the accuser that her boyfriend will cut them down to size because he won't believe their lies.
