Boyfriend
The Issues Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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, swag
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
Tell me what you like yeah tell me what you don’t
I could be your Buzz Light-year, fly across the globe
I don’t ever wanna fight yeah, you already know
Imma make you shine bright like you’re laying in the snow
Burr
Girlfriend, girlfriend, you could be my girlfriend
You could be my girlfriend until the w-w-world ends
Make you dance do a spin and a twirl and
Voice goin' crazy on this hook like a whirlwind
Swaggie
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
So give me a chance, ‘cause you’re all I need girl
Spend a week with your boy I’ll be calling you my girlfriend
If I was your man (If I was your man), I’d never leave you girl
I just want to love and treat you right
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 (If I was your boyfriend), I’d never let you go
Na na na, na na na, na na na
Yeah girl
Na na na, na na na, na na na ey
If I was your boyfriend
Na na na, na na na, na na na ey
Na na na, na na na, na na na ey
If I was your boyfriend
Bitch I ain't your boyfriend, 'cause you're underage
Call me in a couple years and we will fucking rage

The song "Boyfriend" by The Issues is a playful love song where the singer expresses his desire to be his crush's boyfriend. He promises to take her to places she has never been before, spend money on her, and treat her like a queen. The song incorporates modern slang such as "swag" and "Burr" to create a youthful energy. The lyrics also suggest that the singer is willing to be anything the girl wants him to be and make her happy. The chorus repeats the catchy line: "If I was your boyfriend, never let you go, keep you on my arm girl, you'd never be alone."
The lyrics can be seen as a reflection of modern dating culture where people are not ready to commit to a relationship easily. The singer is trying to convince his crush that he is worth it and that he can be a perfect partner. He wants to make her happy and promises to give her everything she wants in a relationship. The song's light-hearted nature makes it appealing to a younger audience, and the use of autotune adds to the playful vibe.
