Selena Gomez - Boyfriend Lyrics

Selena Gomez Lyrics

"Boyfriend"

I want a boyfriend
But I just keep hitting dead ends
Try to take a shortcut, but I get cut
Again and again
I want a boyfriend
Tell me, are there any good ones left?
I keep finding wrong ones, but I want love
Again and again
I want a boyfriend

I been up all night
Pretty restlessly
Think I might know why
(Uh)
I've been doing just fine
But baby, I don't mean
That I'm feeling anti you and me

There's a difference between a want and a need
Some nights I just want more than me
I know that there's a fine line between
It's not what I need, but
(Yeah)

I want a boyfriend
But I just keep hitting dead ends
Try to take a shortcut, but I get cut
Again and again
(Yeah)
I want a boyfriend (Uh-huh)
Tell me, are there any good ones left?
I keep finding wrong ones, but I want love
Again and again

I want a boyfriend
I want a boyfriend

I could phone a friend, use a hotline or something
But that won't get the job done
(Uh-huh)
'Cause every time I try
Every time they lie (Uh-huh)
I get a little anti you and me

There's a difference between a want and a need
Some nights I just want more than me
I know that there's a fine line between
It's not what I need, but
(Ooh–ooh)

I want a boyfriend
But I just keep hitting dead ends
Try to take a shortcut, but I get cut
Again and again
(Yeah)
I want a boyfriend (Uh–huh)
Tell me, are there any good ones left?
I keep finding wrong ones, but I want love
Again and again

I want a boyfriend
I want a boyfriend

(I want a)
(Yeah)
I want a boyfriend
(Yeah)
(I want a)

Selena Gomez told about "Boyfriend", "It's a lighthearted song about falling down and getting back up time and time again in love, but also knowing that you don't need anyone other than yourself to be happy."

Part of this single's proceeds are donated to coronavirus-2019 relief efforts, particularly, to the PLUS1 fund.

Julia Michaels, who co-wrote this song, explained, "One of the lyrics is about a fine line between a want and a need. Yes, she wants a boyfriend, but it's not a need. She's OK on her own, and we all should be too."
