I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend Lyrics

Hey, little girl, I want to be your boyfriend
Sweet little girl, I want to be your boyfriend
Do you love me, babe?
What do you say?
Do you love me, babe?
What can I say?

Hey, little girl, I want to be your boyfriend
Sweet little girl, I want to be your boyfriend
Uuu uuu uuu uuu-au
Because I want to be your boyfriend

Hey, little girl, I want to be your boyfriend
Sweet little girl, I want to be your boyfriend
Do you love me, babe?
What do you say?
Do you love me, babe?
What can I say?
Because I want to be your boyfriend

Hey, little girl, I want to be your boyfriend
Sweet little girl, I want to be your boyfriend
Hey, little girl, I want to be your boyfriend
