Your bossa loser
Your bossa loser
Your bossa loser
Your bossa loser

I was thinking about our call tonight
And now dozing off without you doesn't feel right
But then I heard a voice callin in my dream-a
And there you were dressed like a girl from ipanema

You're the only one for my duet
I'm the gilberto to your getz
The song hasn't ended yet
So lets keep dancing
Didn't bother setting my alarm
Just want to keep you in my arms
Under constellated stars
And that sorta thing

I can't get up, this isn't fake stuff
And I never wanna go somewhere you can't come
So don't wake me, you can't make me

I don't care if I'm only dreaming
Roll the credits, keep the feeling
You're the person that was meant for me
And I'll always be your bossa loser
I know reality is tough
But your presence in the present is a present enough
You will still remain my only one
And I'll always be your bossa loser baby

Your bossa loser
Your bossa loser
Your bossa loser
Your bossa loser

One last thing before I go
I wanna sing a little song desafinado
You say you can't cause it's almost morning
But I promise I'll call ya to hear the real thing

You're the only one for my duet
I'm the gilberto to your getz
The song hasn't ended yet
So lets keep dancing
Didn't bother setting my alarm
Just want to keep you in my arms
Under constellated stars
And that sorta thing

I can't get up, this isn't fake stuff
And I never wanna go somewhere you can't come
So don't wake me, you can't make me

I don't care if I'm only dreaming
Roll the credits, keep the feeling
You're the person that was meant for me
And I'll always be your bossa loser
I know reality is tough
But your presence in the present is a present enough
You will still remain my only one
And I'll always be your bossa loser baby

KEY CHANGE!!!!

I don't care if I'm only dreaming
Roll the credits, keep the feeling
You're the person that was meant for me
And I'll always be your bossa loser

The chorus repeats the phrase "Your bossa loser" multiple times, indicating the artist's acceptance of being a loser in love to the person he loves deeply. The artist is thinking about his lover and feels incomplete without them. His subconsciousness conjures up dream where his lover appears in a dress similar to the "girl from Ipanema," which is a reference to the famous Bossa Nova song by Antonio Carlos Jobim. Next, the artist compares himself to João Gilberto and his lover to Stan Getz, who were famous Jazz musicians known for their Bossa Nova collaborations.
