Boyfriend
Usher Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Somebody said that your boyfriend's lookin' for me
Ooh, that's cool, that's cool
Well, he should know I'm pretty easy to find
Just look for me wherever he sees you

I go wherever you go
I go wherever you go
Yeah, uh
Turn the lights on
It seems natural for me to wander off to where you are (wander off to where you are)
Where you are
In your head 'cause I'm not in your bed, you just imagine
Daydreamin' about me, oh-oh
Been tryin' to be on your best behavior
Lovin' me on the low
The taste of your thoughts I can't wait to savor

Somebody said that your boyfriend's lookin' for me
Ooh, that's cool, that's cool
Well he should know I'm pretty easy to find (easy to find)
Just look for me wherever he sees you
Somebody said that your boyfriend's lookin' for me
That's cool (that's cool), yeah
If he could find a way to get in your mind (get in your mind)
Say he want me, that's all that he gotta do

I go wherever you go
I go wherever you go

I try my best not to be all in your phone (phone)
But I know that's not what you want (want)
Might as well keep some pictures of the two of us in your home
When you slow dance by yourself, I'm right behind you (yeah)
Spray my fragrance on your skin, it will remind you (remind you)
Of the times we linked up
And the nights we dreamed of, girl

Somebody said that your boyfriend is lookin' for me
And that's cool, that's cool, yeah
Well he should know I'm pretty easy to find
Just look for me wherever he sees you
Somebody said that your boyfriend was lookin' for me (uh-huh)
That's cool (cool, cool, yeah)
If he could find a way to get in your mind (get in your mind)
Say he want me, that's all that he gotta do

I go wherever you go
(I go wherever you go)
I go wherever you go
(I go wherever you go)

I go wherever you go, baby
I go wherever you go
If you could find a way
'Cause I'll be right here
Honestly all the time




I've been in your mind
I go wherever you go

In the song "Boyfriend" by Usher, the lyrics depict a situation where someone informs Usher that the boyfriend of the person he desires is looking for him. Usher's response is nonchalant as he states that it's cool and that he is easily accessible. He hints that the boyfriend can find him wherever he sees the person he desires.


The chorus emphasizes Usher's willingness to follow the person he desires wherever they go, indicating his intense attraction and desire to be with them. This statement suggests that Usher is ready to be by their side and is ready to meet whatever challenges might come his way.


In the second verse, Usher describes the longing he feels for the person he desires. He acknowledges that he tries not to invade their personal space, such as going through their phone, but deep down knows that is what they want from him. Usher fantasizes about the moments they have shared, whether real or imagined, and how their chemistry and connection have left a lasting impact on him.


The second chorus reinforces the idea that Usher is not afraid of being found by the boyfriend of the person he desires. He reiterates that he can be easily located as long as the boyfriend sees his presence around the person he loves. Usher amplifies his confidence, indicating that if the boyfriend wants to win the person's mind and affection, all he has to do is express his desire for Usher.


The outro acknowledges Usher's unwavering devotion and commitment to following the person he desires.
