[Verse 1]
I'm late to the party, I see you outside
I'm counting the money, can't see in this light
I need something stronger, I'm texting my guy
Don't know what to say now, I look into your eyes
I see everybody, my chest feeling tight
Their eyes saying, "Sorry, are you alright?"
I make up a story, hell yeah, I'm fine
Don't know what to say now, four drinks at a time
[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm pretending I got this under control
Like you don't still have a part of my soul
But you will still hear me sing
[Chorus]
Loverboy, every little thing is gonna be alright
Loverboy, just put your hands up, put them in the sky
Loverboy, take another drink, we'll fade into the night
Loverboy, let's see if you believe in your own lies
[Verse 2]
Some say it's easier said than done
Write off my demons, believing in love
Though I still want you, I walk into the sun
'Cause I'm feeling better when I'm having fun
[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm pretending I got this under control
Like you don't still have a part of my soul
But you will still hear me sing
[Chorus]
Loverboy, every little thing is gonna be alright
Loverboy, just put your hands up, put them in the sky
Loverboy, take another drink, we'll fade into the night
Loverboy, let's see if you believe in your own lies
[Bridge]
Won't you help me out?
Think I got a problem 'cause I'm going down
Think you need to help me out, won't you help me out?
Think I got a problem 'cause I'm going down
[Chorus]
Loverboy, every little thing is gonna be alright
Loverboy, just put your hands up, put them in the sky
Loverboy, take another drink, we'll fade into the night
Loverboy, let's see if you believe in your own lies
[Outro]
Tell you everything's gonna be alright
Loverboy was written by Joesef.
Loverboy was produced by Joesef.
“I had the tattoo [Joesef has ‘Loverboy’ tattooed on his chest] before I wrote the song. I got it because of the Sade song ‘Smooth Operator,’ where she says, ‘Diamond life. Lover boy.’ My mum used to sing it all the time. Then I wrote this song, and it’s one of the things I’ll never forget about her...
