Lyrics
He went away and you hung around
And bothered me, every night
And when I wouldn’t go out with you
You said things that weren’t very nice
My boyfriend’s back and you’re gonna be in trouble
(Hey-la-day-la my boyfriend’s back)
You see him comin’ better cut out on the double
(Hey-la-day-la my boyfriend’s back)
You been spreading lies that I was untrue
(Hey-la-day-la my boyfriend’s back)
So look out now ’cause he’s comin’ after you
He’s been gone for such a long time
(Hey-la-day-la my boyfriend’s back)
Now he’s back and things’ll be fine
(Hey-la-day-la my boyfriend’s back)
You’re gonna be sorry you were ever born
(Hey-la-day-la my boyfriend’s back)
‘Cause he’s kinda big and he’s awful strong
(Hey-la-day-la my boyfriend’s back)
(You’re a big man now but he’ll cut you down to size
(Wait and see)
My boyfriend’s back he’s gonna save my reputation
(Hey-la-day-la my boyfriend’s back)
If I were you I’d take a permanent vacation
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend’s back)
Yeah, my boyfriend’s back (La-day-la, my boyfriend’s back)
Look out now, yeah, my boyfriend’s back (La-day-la, my boyfriend’s back)
I could see him comin’ so you better get a runnin’ alright now (La-day-la, my boyfriend’s back)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (La-day-la, my boyfriends’s back)
My boyfriend’s back now (La-day-la, my boyfriend’s back)
Know he’s comin’ after you because he knows I’ve been true now (La-day-la, my boyfriend’s back)
