Boyfriend | Selena Gomez Song Lyrics

 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)
