Biography:
The Waterboys is a British celtic band formed in 1983 by Scottish musician Mike Scott. Their songs, largely written by Scott, often contain literary references and are frequently concerned with spirituality. Both the group and its members' solo careers have received much praise from both rock and folk music critics, but The Waterboys as a band has never received the commercial success that some of its members (such as Ian McNabb, leader of The Icicle Works; Trevor Hutchinson, a founding member of Lúnasa; etc) have had independently.

[Intro]
C#m G#m F#m x2
[Verse 1]
C#m G#m F#m
If I was your boyfriend, I'd get myself a cool car
C#m G#m F#m
And drive it to the village where you live, if it ain't too far
G#m C#m G#m F#m
And we'd have us a hay day in your rustic nest
C#m G#m F#m
That's if I could steal you away from your other guests
C#m G#m F#m
Course there'd be no wi-fi 'cause the signal is weak
C#m G#m F#m
And the windows are drafty and your four-poster creaks
F#m G#m
Or maybe I could lure you out of your country home
A F#m F#m/G# A
Back to the city where we could be together alone
C#m G#m F#m
If I was your boyfriend
[Verse 2]
C#m G#m F#m
If I was your boyfriend, sparks would fly
C#m G#m F#m
You'd try to be clever all the time, and baby so would I
C#m G#m F#m
You'd be outwitting my wit, keeping me perplexed
C#m G#m F#m
Poking at my personality in a game of intellectual sex
C#m G#m F#m
But I'd kinda like it, and you'd like it too
C#m G#m F#m
And we'd get to the real thing, maybe, after a month or two
F#m G#m
And once we were intimate, baby, I suspect we'd find
A F#m F#m/G# A
I'd be tender in your arms and you'd be honey in mine
C#m G#m F#m
If I was your boyfriend
C#m G#m F#m
[Verse 3]
C#m G#m F#m
If I was your boyfriend, sugar, we'd have fun
C#m G#m F#m
Whether either of us turned out to be the other's one
C#m G#m F#m
We'd go to the West End, find some music and dance
C#m G#m F#m
Dance would lead to talk ,and talk would lead to romance
C#m G#m F#m
We'd sashay down Soho, through the glittering mob
C#m G#m F#m
Cardigan over your shoulders, hair in a funky bob
F#m G#m
We'd cut through Leicester Square to see the lights explode
A F#m F#m/G# A
Then go buy some books on Charing Cross Road
C#m G#m F#m
If I was your boyfriend
C#m G#m F#m
[Verse 4]
C#m G#m F#m
If I was your boyfriend, I'd screw up now and then
C#m F#m
'Cause no one gets it right all the time, especially men
C#m G#m F#m
But my heart would be loyal, and my hands would be kind
C#m G#m F#m
And I'd love every turn of your far out elegant mind
C#m G#m F#m
Friday night would find us, in a hotel by the coast
C#m G#m F#m
We'd close the door behind us, and I'd draw you close
F#m G#m
We'd put on some Marvin to fill the room with grace
A F#m F#m/G# A
And make love by candlelight so we could see each others' face
C#m G#m F#m
If I was your boyfriend
C#m G#m F#m
If I was your boyfriend
C#m G#m F#m
If I was your boyfriend
