Boys/Boyfriend

Boys/Boyfriend by Britney Spears/Justin Bieber is a mash-up featured in Britney 2.0, the second episode of Season Four. It is sung by Artie and Blaine.

When Will tells New Directions that Figgins has requested for them to perform for the McKinley annual assembly at the beginning of the year, he tells them to perform Britney Spears for inspiration once again. He tells Blaine and Artie to perform the first Britney number and Blaine says the song is for Brittany. During the song, the New Directions dance and sing along, whilst Brittany just continues to eat.

Lyrics[]

Artie:
For whatever reason,
I feel like I've been wanting you all my life
You don't understand
I'm so glad we're at the same place
At the same time

Blaine (Artie):
It's over now
I spotted you dancin'
You made all the boys stare
Those lips and your brown eyes (Oooh)
And the sexy hair

Artie (Blaine):
I should shake my thang (Uh)
Make the world want you (Hahaha)
Tell your girls you'll be back
I wanna see what you can do

Artie and Blaine with New Directions Boys:
What would it take for you to just leave with me?
Not tryin' to sound conceited but
you and me were meant to be
You're a sexy girl, I'm a nice guy
Let's turn this dance floor into our own little nasty world!

Blaine with New Directions:
If I was your boyfriend

Artie:
Sometimes a girl just needs one

Blaine with New Directions:
Keep you on my arm girl

Artie:
To love her and to hold

Blaine with New Directions:
And I can be a gentleman

Artie:
And when a girl is with one

Blaine with New Directions:
If I was your boyfriend

Artie:
Then she's in control!

Blaine with New Directions:
If I was your boyfriend

Artie:
Tell me what you like yeah tell me what you don’t
I could be your Buzz Lightyear fly across the globe
I don’t never wanna fight yeah, you already know
Imma a make you shine bright like you’re laying in the snow burr!

Blaine:
Girlfriend, girlfriend, you could be my girlfriend
You could be my girlfriend until the world ends
Make you dance do a spin and a twirl and
Voice goin' crazy on this hook (New Directions Boys: If I was your boyfriend) like a whirl wind, swaggie

Artie:
Sometimes a girl just needs one

Blaine with New Directions Boys:
Keep you on my arm girl

Artie:
To love her and to hold

Blaine with New Directions Boys:
And I can be a gentleman

Artie:
And when a girl is with one

Blaine with New Directions Boys:
If I was your boyfriend

Artie:
Then she's in control!

Blaine with New Directions Boys:
If I was your boyfriend

Blaine:
So give me a chance, ‘cause you’re all I need girl

Artie and Blaine with New Directions Boys:
Spend a week wit your boy I’ll be calling you my girlfriend

Artie (Blaine):
If I was your man (If I was your man)
I’d never leave you girl (Girl)

Artie with New Directions Boys (Blaine):
I just want to love you, (If I was your boyfriend) and treat you right

Trivia[]

Kevin McHale and Darren Criss choreographed most of this number. They wanted to make it as silly and cliche as they could but a lot of their moves ended up being cut from the episode.
This is the third out of four songs featuring Blaine rapping, the first being Perfect, the second being Fly/I Believe I Can Fly, and the last being American Boy.
This is the third Justin Bieber song that Artie is in, the first being Baby (only in the studio version) and the second being Somebody to Love.
