Oscar Zia Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I was your boyfriend, I′d never let you go
I can take you places you ain't never been before
Baby, take a chance or you′ll never ever know
I got money in my hands that I'd really like to blow
Swag, swag, swag, on you
Chillin' by the fire while we eatin′ fondue
I don′t know about me but I know about you
So say hello to falsetto in three, two

I'd like to be everything you want
Hey girl, let me talk to you
If I was your boyfriend, never let you go
Keep you on my arm girl
You′d never be alone
I can be a gentleman, anything you want
If I was your boyfriend
I'd never let you go
I′d never let you go
So give me a chance
Y ou're all I need girl
Spend a week with your boy I′ll be calling you my girlfriend
If I was your man
I'd never leave you girl
I just want to love and treat you right
Never let you go
Keep you on my arm girl, you'd never be alone (never be alone)
I can be a gentleman
Anything you want
If I was your boyfriend
I′d never let you go, never let you go
Na na na, na na na, na na na
Yeah girl

Na na na, na na na, na na
If I was your boyfriend

The lyrics begin with him declaring that if he was her boyfriend, he would never let her go, and he could show her places she has never been before. This implies his desire to be possessive of her, but in a positive and loving way. He goes on to encourage her to take a chance on him, promising that he has money to spend on her and that he has lots of swag to impress her.

Zia further expresses his desire to be everything she wants, hoping that she’ll give him a chance because he believes she’s everything he needs. This is reinforced when he promises to spend a week with her and call her his girlfriend. The chorus repeats the message that if he was her boyfriend, he would never let her go, and that he wants to be the perfect partner that she deserves.

Overall, the song is about a confident and romantic offer to be the perfect partner for a woman. However, some critics have interpreted the song as sexist because of the masculine language used, including the emphasis on the man's ability to provide and protect.
