Boyfriend
The Jimmies Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, Ah

I know what you want, and I know what you need.
But I'm goin' screw it up, yeah
'Cause I'm an idiot, and I'm your boyfriend, yes I am.

I'm goin' take you out, and leave my wallet home.
Then I use your cellphone, baby, long distance, and I'm your boyfriend.

Baby I know I'm a man who's made mistakes.
I still got some learning to do.
I made out with your best friend the other day
And now we're best friends too, Yeah Yeah

And I know what you want, and I know what you need.
But I'm goin' screw it up, yeah
'Cause I'm and idiot, and I'm your boyfriend, yes I am.

And I'm goin' get you a gift,
Hey! But it's something I like too.
Hope you like this Norelco beard trimmer with my name on it,
And I'm your boyfriend.

Hey da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da

Goin' get real drunk, and call my baby up
At four o'clock in the morning
Wake you up. I'm an idiot!

Pick up the phone, come on. I love you.
Lets get in my dad's SUV, And we'll go over to my house,
My crib, my pad. I'll tell my mom to go to sleep.
Then we'll have the living room all to ourselves, you see.
We'll put on some great DVD's I picked up.
How bout like, something like the Matrix.

Oh
Ah

I can turn my boombox up,
And make the bass smack the side of my mom's couch
Yeah!

Hey baby you like fine cooking?
Cause you know what?
I got a Swanson's dinner in the freezer with your name on it.
Check it out
Yeah!

I got a permanent wave, yeah! I got an Ogilvy home perm, baby

Uh! I honk the horn can you honk the horn?
Can you honk the horn? Let me hear you honk it! Come on!

Let me hear you say uh uh! Yeah
Let me hear you say uh uh uh! yeah
Let me hear you say uh uh! Yeah




Let me hear you say uh uh uh uh uh uh uh oh yeah!
Let me hear you say uh uh uh uh uh uh uh oh yeah!

Overall Meaning

In The Jimmies' song "Boyfriend," the lyrics paint a picture of a clueless and somewhat self-centered boyfriend who is aware of his shortcomings but still struggles to get things right in the relationship. The opening lines, "Oh, Ah, I know what you want, and I know what you need. But I'm goin' screw it up," highlight the singer's awareness of his tendency to mess things up despite knowing what his partner desires.


The lyrics continue to highlight the boyfriend's foolish actions and mistakes. He mentions leaving his wallet at home when taking his partner out and using her cellphone for long-distance calls. The repeated refrain, "And I'm your boyfriend, yes I am," implies a sense of entitlement or assurance that he can behave in such ways because of his relationship status.


The song takes a turn when the boyfriend admits he has made mistakes in the past, such as making out with the partner's best friend, but manages to turn it into a positive by claiming they are now best friends too. The lyrics capture the boyfriend's lack of remorse and understanding of the consequences of his actions.


The chorus reinforces his awareness of what his partner wants and needs, but despite this knowledge, he continues to "screw it up" because he is, in his own words, an idiot. The lyrics then take a humorous tone as the boyfriend brags about purchasing a gift, a Norelco beard trimmer, but reveals that it's something he likes too, suggesting a lack of consideration for his partner's preferences.


The song's final verses depict the boyfriend's reckless behavior, from getting drunk and calling his partner at four in the morning to persuading them to sneak into his house while his mom is asleep. He tries to impress by suggesting they watch movies like "The Matrix" and boasts about turning up the volume on his boombox, potentially annoying his mother in the process.


The lyrics end with playful banter, asking the partner if they can honk the horn of his dad's SUV and encouraging them to join in the fun. The repetition and call-and-response style of the ending lines create a sense of camaraderie and lightheartedness, suggesting that despite the boyfriend's flaws, there is an underlying affection and joy in the relationship.
