Lyrics
Boyfriend
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Please keep your boyfriend away from me
Cause I just don’t wanna fight
I wanna take responsibility for where you sleep tonight
Don’t ask for my opinion,
Cause I just can’t hold my tongue
But under his dominion, you won’t be having fun
He sees you as possession, when I just see a queen
Closer to perfection than any other I’ve ever seen
So, please keep your boyfriend away from me
Cause I just don’t wanna fight
I wanna take responsibility for where you sleep tonight
From what your body told me
You and I would get along
If I were you I’d hold me,
All else would just be wrong
With the deepest mark of magic
My name upon your walls
For him it must be tragic
But the bestest of them all, I am
So, please keep your boyfriend away from me
Cause I just don’t wanna fight
I wanna take responsibility for where you sleep tonight
