If You Were My Boyfriend by Nerina Pallot Lyrics

I don't mean to interfere but really your girlfriend's a nightmare (ooooh)

And it's not like I'm jealous, I'm your friend, and you know that I care (ooooh)

'Cause lately you've been sad
If she lets you out at all
You're a shadow of the man you were before

If you were my boyfriend I'd be
Taking you out
If you were I wouldn't want to go without you
'Cause she doesn't know what you're all about
Oh I think you understand
That's just the kind of girl I am

Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do

I love that she's political and oh my god she says she's a feminist (ooooh)
But I sincerely doubt for all her bragging, girlfriend could spell it (ooooh, wow!)
She's so independent
She's got her eyes on something flash
Baby can afford it 'cause she's spending your cash

If you were my boyfriend I'd be
Taking you out
If you were you know I wouldn't go without you
'Cause she doesn't know what you're all about
Oh it's not for me to say

But if you were my boyfriend I'd be
Holding your hand
If you were you know I'd try to understand

You don't ask much you're just a hard-working man
Oh I might be naive
But I know just the kind of girl you need
Oh I think you understand
That's just the kind of girl I am

Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do

Oh lately you've been low
'Cause she won't let you go
You're a shadow of the man you used to be
If you were my boyfriend I'd be
Taking you out
If you were you know I wouldn't go without you
'Cause she doesn't know what you're all about
Oh it's not for me to say

But if you were my boyfriend I'd be
Holding your hand
If you were you know I'd try to understand
You don't ask much you're just a hard-working man
Oh I might be naive
But I know just the kind of girl you need

Oh I think you understand
That's just the kind of
Girl I am
