BOYFRIEND
[Intro]
You were my boyfriend, but we never knew
You were my boyfriend, but we never knew
[Chorus]
You were my boyfriend, but we never knew
We even did all the things boyfriends do
Even though we didn't know quite how to
I wonder if you ever realized it too
[Verse 1]
Everyday playdates with my favorite guy
Feelings I had no way to identify
You take your shirt off when we go outside
And that makes me happy, but I don’t know why
Any reason to brush against you
It's like there's dopamine in my Dunkaroos
Hide and seek me out in the closet
Shh, come here, let’s sit and be quiet
[Chorus]
You were my boyfriend, but we never knew
We even did all the things boyfriends do
Even though we didn't know quite how to
I wonder if you ever realized it too
[Verse 2]
Boys have crushes on girls, but I can't relate
I didn't know why, guess I must just be late
Maybe it happens after you turn eight
But what if it doesn't? 'Cause I really hate
How I feel when people ask me about girls
Who do I like, and isn't she pretty?
I feel sick as I shrug my shoulders
And please stop buying me these toy soldiers
[Chorus]
You were my boyfriend, but we never knew
We even did all the things boyfriends do
Even though we didn't know quite how to
I wonder if you ever realized it too
You were my boyfriend, but we never knew
We even did all the things boyfriends do
Even though we didn’t know quite how to
I wonder if you ever realized it too
[Bridge]
All I know is I feel something
Burning inside me when I see the boy next door
I light up when he invites me over
And then in his bedroom, he pulls me close, and
[Chorus]
You were my boyfriend, but we never knew
We even did all the things boyfriends do
Even though we didn’t know quite how to
I wonder if you ever realized it too
That you were my boyfriend, but we never knew
We even did all the things boyfriends do
Even though we didn't know quite how to
I wonder if you ever realized it too
[Outro]
You were my boyfriend, but we never knew
You were my boyfriend, but we never knew
You were my boyfriend, but we never knew
I wonder if you ever realized it too
