My Boyfriend's Back Lyrics
Spoken: He went away and you hung around
And bothered me every night
And when I wouldn't go out with you
You said things that weren't very nice
My boyfriend's back and you're gonna be in trouble
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)
When you see him comin', better cut out on the double
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)
You been spreading lies that I was untrue
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)
So look out now 'cause he's comin' after you
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)
Hey, he knows what you been tryin'
And he knows that you been lyin'
He's been gone for such a long time
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)
Now he's back and things'll be fine
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)
You're gonna be sorry you were ever born
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)
'cause he's kinda big and he's awful strong
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)
Hey, he knows I wasn't cheatin'
Now you're gonna get a beatin'
What made you think he'd believe all your lies?
(Aah-ooh, aah-ooh)
You're a big man now but he'll cut you down to size
(Aah-ooh)
Wait and see!
My boyfriend's back, he's gonna save my reputation
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)
If I were you, I'd take a permanent vacation
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)
Hey, I can see him comin'
Now you better start a'runnin'
(Aah-ooh, aah-ooh)
(Aah-ooh)
Wait and see!
My boyfriend's back, he's gonna save my reputation
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)
Yeah, my boyfriend's back
Well look out now, my boyfriend's back
Well, I can see him comin' so you better get a'runnin' a'right now
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
My boyfriend's back.....
And bothered me every night
And when I wouldn't go out with you
You said things that weren't very nice
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)
When you see him comin', better cut out on the double
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)
So look out now 'cause he's comin' after you
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)
And he knows that you been lyin'
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)
Now he's back and things'll be fine
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)
'cause he's kinda big and he's awful strong
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)
Now you're gonna get a beatin'
(Aah-ooh, aah-ooh)
You're a big man now but he'll cut you down to size
(Aah-ooh)
Wait and see!
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)
If I were you, I'd take a permanent vacation
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)
Now you better start a'runnin'
(Aah-ooh, aah-ooh)
(Aah-ooh)
Wait and see!
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)
Well look out now, my boyfriend's back

I love their version of this song. Her voice fits it so well! This song is a natural choice for them to cover; even the original kind of has a Raveonettes swag.
By the way: "My Boyfriend's Back" was a hit song in 1963 for The Angels, an American girl group. It was written by the songwriting team of Feldman, Goldstein and Gottehrer. (taken from Wikipedia)
Oh, just came across another thing: This guy (Richard) Gottehrer also produced the Raveonettes album "Pretty in Black" (which features "My Boyfriend's Back") together with Sune Rose Wagner!
