Lyrics and Chords


[Original in Eb - capo 1]

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, hey-la, my boyfriend's back
When you see him comin', better cut out on the double 
Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back

/ D - - - / G - A - / :

You been spreading lies that I was untrue / Hey-la...
So look out now 'cause he's comin' after you / Hey-la...

Hey, he knows what you been tryin' 
And he knows that you been lyin' 

/ D - G - / /

He's been gone for such a long time / Hey-la...
Now he's back and things'll be fine / Hey-la...

You're gonna be sorry you were ever born / Hey-la...
'Cause he's kinda big and he's awful strong / Hey-la...

Hey, he knows I wasn't cheatin' 
Now you're gonna get a beatin' 

What made you think he'd believe all your lies? 
Aah-ooh, aah-ooh
You're a big man now but he'll cut you down to size 
Aah-ooh
Wait and see! 

/ G - - - / D - - - / G - - - / D - A - /

My boyfriend's back, he's gonna save my reputation / Hey-la...
If I were you, I'd take a permanent vacation / Hey-la...

Hey, I can see him comin' 
Now you better start a-runnin' 

My boyfriend's back, he's gonna save my reputation / Hey-la...
Yeah, my boyfriend's back 
Well look out now, my boyfriend's back 
Well, I can see him comin' so you better get a-runnin' all right now 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 
My boyfriend's back

/ D - - - / G - A - / D - G - / / / / /
