Don't Call Him Your Boyfriend

Well, ever since you moved into our street
Your life's been one long rinse and repeat, yeah
It seems every other guy you meet is somehow Mr. Right
Then, like it's not unforeseeable
You find it wasn't meant to be at all
But your latest seems more amenable
And that's keeping me up at night

Don't call him your boyfriend
Don't call him anything at all
I waited so long for the end of your last affair
Already I can hear him through my wall
Don't call him your boyfriend
I don't wanna wait around
It's been so long since I fell hard
And I don't care for anybody else in this town

I don't know why
I don't know why
You never saw in me the possibility
When you were shopping around
I don't know why
I don't know why
What will it take to get us together?
Will I wait in vain forever?

He's the latest in a sorry line
He re-enacts a war in his spare time
Well, if that doesn't change your mind
Then maybe I'm a fool
To even think that we could ever be
Any more than next-door-neighbourly, oh
I need a chance to let you see
I'm not still that kid from school

Don't call him your boyfriend
Don't call him anything at all
I waited so long for the end of your last affair
Already I can hear him through my wall
Don't call him your boyfriend
I don't wanna wait around
It's been so long since I fell hard
And I don't care for anybody else in this town

I don't know why
I don't know why
You never saw in me the possibility
When you were shopping around
I don't know why
I don't know why
I've seen everyone waltz through your door
How come it's not me you adore?
I don't know why
I don't know why
To me, it's never been in doubt
You're the one I can't be without
I don't know why
It's him, not I
Don't call him your boyfriend
Please don't call him your boyfriend
Oh, please don't call him your boyfriend

Is it the way he fails to wash his hair?
That scent of something hanging in the air, ugh
Or is it just his vacant stare?
Please don't call him your boyfriend

Is it the way he dresses up to play
Toy soldiers every Saturday
And are you gonna kiss him anyway?
Please don't call him your boyfriend

Would I need to grow such a nasty beard?
Am I just not the right kind of weird?
Oh, I guess the problem really isn't clear
Please don't call him your boyfriend

Should I give it up?
Am I wasting time when I've nothing else left on my mind?
In lucid moments I know I must be blind
Still I'm saying please don't call him your boyfriend

Ooh
When you look my way, do you see me at all?
Am I really just so unacceptable?
Ooh
I don't want to ask you again and again, but please
Please don't call him your boyfriend
No
