Boyfriend
That Kid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you wanna be my boyfriend for the night
Do you wanna be my boyfriend
Do you wanna be my boyfriend for the night
Do you wanna be my boyfriend
Do you wanna be my boyfriend
For the night
You've been in love with me for a long time
And I've been hurt before but
Think I'm willing to give you a try
It's been a long time
Yeah it's been a year (yeah it's been a year)
I need to know that
You're staying right here (you're staying right here)
I've got a lot of boyfriends but I only want you
But I only want you, you
I've got a lot of boyfriends but I only want you
But I only want you, you
Do you wanna be my boyfriend
Do you wanna be my boyfriend for the night
Do you wanna be my boyfriend
Do you wanna be my boyfriend for the night
Do you wanna be my boyfriend
Do you wanna be my boyfriend for the night
Do you wanna be my boyfriend
Do you wanna be my boyfriend
For the night
Do you wanna be, do you wanna be
Do you wanna be, do you wanna be
Do you wanna be, do you wanna be
Do you wanna be, do you wanna be
Do you wanna be, do you wanna be
Do you wanna be, do you wanna be
Do you wanna be, do you wanna be
Do you wanna be, do you wanna be
Do you wanna be, do you wanna be
Do you wanna be, do you wanna be
Do you wanna be, do you wanna be
The lyrics to That Kid's song "Boyfriend" are about a girl asking a guy to be her boyfriend, albeit just for one night. She references how she knows he has been in love with her for a long time, but she has been hurt before and needs reassurance that he will stay. She then confesses that she has many boyfriends but only wants him.
The song seems to be exploring themes of casual relationships and the pressure to constantly have a partner, even if it's not a serious relationship. The repetition of the line "Do you wanna be my boyfriend for the night" suggests a fleeting fling rather than a long-term commitment. The line "I need to know that you're staying right here" also suggests a fear of being left alone, even if it means being with someone who may not be completely trustworthy.
The chorus, with its catchy repetition of "I've got a lot of boyfriends but I only want you," speaks to the idea of wanting someone specific but feeling like there are other options available. It also touches on the insecurity of not being enough for someone and feeling the need to compete with others for their attention.
Overall, "Boyfriend" seems to be a commentary on modern dating culture and the pressure to constantly be in relationships, even if they are not deep or meaningful.
