If I Was Your Boyfriend - The Waterboys

If I was your boyfriend, I’d get myself a cool car

And drive it to the village where you live if it ain’t too far

And we’d have us a heyday in your rustic nest

That’s if I could steal you away from your other guests

Course there’d be no WiFi 'cause the signal is weak

And the windows are drafty and your four-poster creaks

Or maybe I could lure you out of your country home

Back to the city where we could be together alone

If I was your boyfriend

If I was your boyfriend, sparks would fly

You’d try to be clever all the time, and baby so would I

You’d be outwitting my wit, keeping me perplexed

Poking at my personality in a game of intellectual sex

But I’d kinda like it, and you’d like it too

And we’d get to the real thing, maybe, after a month or two

And once we were intimate, baby, I suspect we’d find

I’d be tender in your arms and you’d be honey in mine

If I was your boyfriend

If I was your boyfriend, sugar, we’d have fun

Whether either of us turned out to be the other’s one

We’d go to the West End, find some music and dance

Dance would lead to talk and talk would lead to romance

We’d sashay down Soho through the glittering mob

Cardigan over your shoulders, hair in a funky bob

We’d cut through Leicester Square to see the lights explode

Then go buy some books on Charing Cross Road

If I was your boyfriend

If I was your boyfriend I’d screw up now and then

'Cause no one gets it right all the time, especially men

But my heart would be loyal and my hands would be kind

And I’d love every turn of your far out elegant mind

Friday night would find us, in a hotel by the coast

We’d close the door behind us and I’d draw you close

We’d put on some Marvin to fill the room with grace

And make love by candlelight so we could see each others' face

If I was your boyfriend

If I was your boyfriend

If I was your boyfriend

If I was your boyfriend
