Boyfriend
Maasho Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby when I talk too fast, you never listen
I just wanna be that guy, but I feel distant
I don't wanna cry no more, cause I don't feel familiar, familiar

You better text me back when you get home
Cuz i wanna know you're safe
I wanna know your ways
I wanna see your face
But i know that you can't
And i know it's ok
I don't care i don't mind
Tell that man what i said

She don't like her boyfriend
Hit me on the weekends
Her and all of my friends
Go out on the weekends

I feel like i'm steve lacy
Putting my heart on a lofi beat
I don't know how to play guitar
But the ladies love mars
And this lil shawty love me
I could drop the drums to see you fly
Back and forth and through the sky
But i think i rather go back to the things i know
Where the sun shines down
And the nights not cold
Cuz you are
Playing with my heart i don't know why
Your man he is not the guy for you
We know it's true
You can do so much better
So come on over baby
Text him back a single letter

You can take a rest girl
You can let your hair down
You can vent to me
If you wanted to
You can take a rest girl
You can let your hair down
Can you kill me softly
Won't you
Won't you

She don't like her boyfriend
Hit me on the weekends




Her and all of my friends
Go out on the weekends

Overall Meaning

The first stanza of the song "Boyfriend" by Maasho talks about a relationship where the singer speaks too fast and the partner does not listen. The singer feels that he is distant from his partner and wants to be that guy but can't. He feels that he doesn't recognize himself anymore and doesn't want to cry about it anymore.


In the second stanza, the singer expresses his concern for his partner's safety and wants to know about her ways and see her face. Although he knows that he can't, he doesn't mind waiting for her response and tells her to ignore her current boyfriend and come to him instead. The next few lines describe the weekend activities of the singer, the girl he likes, and their friends.


The chorus of the song repeats "she doesn't like her boyfriend" and talks about how she contacts the singer on weekends and goes out with him and their friends. The singer compares himself to Steve Lacy, who puts his heart into a lofi beat, and talks about how he can't play the guitar, but the ladies love him. He wants to go back to the things he knows where the sun shines and the night is not cold.


Maasho's "Boyfriend" talks about unrequited love and a person who is caught between wanting to be with someone who is already in a relationship and not wanting to impose. The song is a kind of plea or invitation to the person to come back to the singer. The lyrics, combined with the melody and the rhythm, capture the essence of longing and the pain of unrequited love.
