Boyfriend
Entropic Love Triangle: Gender Roles and Desire
Lyrics
I've got your boyfriend on my mind
I am thinking about your boyfriend.
I think you know she stayed with me last night
I believe you're aware that he spent the night with me.
I held his world in my hands
I had control over his world.
I threw it out to see where it would land
I deliberately let go to observe the outcome.
You came to me for entropy and I gave you all I had
You sought chaos from me, and I gave you everything I had.
He makes a better man than me
Your boyfriend is a better man than me.
So I know he won't feel bad
I'm confident he won't feel guilty or remorseful.
It's fine 'cause I am just a girl
My actions are acceptable because I am just a girl.
"It doesn't count"
You dismiss the significance of what happened.
He knows a woman needs a man to make her shout
He understands that a woman requires a man for satisfaction.
I hope your boyfriend doesn't mind (I know he doesn't mind)
I hope your boyfriend isn't bothered (indicating he isn't).
You tell me that you love me every time (You love me all the time)
You declare love to me consistently.
I held his girl in my hands (I know he doesn't mind)
I had control over his girl as well.
She likes it 'cause they're softer than a man's (I like to moisturize)
She enjoys it because women's bodies are softer than men's.
Heaven knows we're meant to be
We are meant to be together according to destiny.
But it's turned into a mess
However, our relationship has become chaotic.
No one takes us seriously just because I wear a dress
People don't take us seriously because of traditional gender expectations.
It's fine 'cause I am just a girl
My actions are acceptable because I am just a girl (repeated).
"It's just a dream"
It's considered a dream or fantasy.
A woman really needs a man to make her scream
A woman supposedly needs a man for intense pleasure.
"I can't do any higher"
A possibly unrelated statement expressing inability to go any higher.
You came to me for entropy and I gave you all I had
You sought chaos from me again, and I gave you everything I had (repeated).
He makes a better man than me
Your boyfriend is a better man than me (repeated).
So I know he won't feel bad
I'm confident he won't feel guilty or remorseful (repeated).
