He went away
And you hang around
And bothered me every night
When I wouldn't go out with you
You said things that weren't very nice
My boyfriend's back
And there's gonna be trouble
(Hey, la, di, la my boyfriend's back)
When you see him coming
Better cut out on the double
(Hey, la, di, la my boyfriend's back)
You been spreading lies
That I was untrue
(Hey, la, di, la my boyfriend's back)
So look out now
Cause he's coming after you
(Hey, la, di, la my boyfriend's back)
Hey, he knows what you been trying
And he knows that you been lying
He's been gone for such a long time
(Hey, la, di, la my boyfriend's back)
Now he's back and things'll be fine
(Hey, la, di, la my boyfriend's back)
You're gonna be sorry that you were born
(Hey, la, di, la my boyfriend's back)
Cause he's kind a big and he's awful strong
(Hey, la, di, la my boyfriend's back)
Hey, he knows I wasn't cheating
Now you're gonna get a beating
What made you think
He'd believe your lies?
(Ah, oo, ah, oo)
You're a big man show
But he'll cut you down to size!
(Ah, oo,)
Wait and see!
My boyfriend's back
He's gonna save my reputation
(Hey, la, di, la my boyfriend's back)
If I were you
I'd take a permanent vacation
(Hey, la, di, la my boyfriend's back)
Yes, my boyfriend's back
Look out now
My boyfriend's back
Well, I can see him coming
So you better get a running
Oh, right now
My boyfriend's back now
I know he's coming after you.
And you hang around
And bothered me every night
When I wouldn't go out with you
You said things that weren't very nice
My boyfriend's back
And there's gonna be trouble
(Hey, la, di, la my boyfriend's back)
When you see him coming
Better cut out on the double
(Hey, la, di, la my boyfriend's back)
You been spreading lies
That I was untrue
(Hey, la, di, la my boyfriend's back)
So look out now
Cause he's coming after you
(Hey, la, di, la my boyfriend's back)
