Boyfriend Lyrics

Tell you that I love you, that I can't hold back
The feeling that you give me, wanna give it right back
I know you always win at this particular game
I need to know the rules if you want me to play

You treat me like your boyfriend
And trust me like a... like a very best friend
You kiss me like your boyfriend
You call me up like you want your best friend
You turn me on like you want your boyfriend
But I don't want to be your secret anymore

I'm trying to be honest cause I can't relax
Oh, when I get around you I can't hide the facts
I let you take advantage cause it felt so good
I blame myself for thinking we both understood

You treat me like your boyfriend
And trust me like a... like a very best friend
You kiss me like your boyfriend
You call me up like you want your best friend
You turn me on like you want your boyfriend
But I don't want to be your secret anymore

Don't wanna, don't wanna play the crying game
Do you feel the same? You feel the same
Don't wanna, don't wanna spin the bottle again
Do you feel the same? You feel the same

You treat me like your boyfriend
And trust me like a... like a very best friend
You kiss me like your boyfriend
You call me up like you want your best friend
You turn me on like you want your boyfriend
But I don't want to be your secret anymore

You treat me like your boyfriend
And trust me like a... like a very best friend
You kiss me like your boyfriend
You call me up like you want your best friend
You turn me on like you want your boyfriend
But I don't want to be your secret anymore

You treat me like your boyfriend And trust me like a, like a very best friend Kiss me like your boyfriend You call me up, like you would your best friend You turn me on, like you would your boyfriend But I don't want to be your secret anymore...

Cover art for Boyfriend lyrics by Tegan and Sara

It's about a girl who is teasing and maybe a little frustrated with another girl who she cares about whom either isn't facing her sexuality choices or is in another relationship, or is scared of committing to this one.

Of the twins this one is Sara's song and it's about one of her past relationships. She's gay and wanted to date a girl who had primarily dated guys before that so she teased her about 'could I be your boyfriend.' She said in interviews with fuse that it's meant to be tongue in cheek and about that point of a relationship when you're trying to decide to make it exclusive or not and wondering if the other person feels the same way.
