Carly’s initial intentions for this song were giving it some folk rhythm, just like many of her songs. It was originally composed with a guitar. But then, for no specific reason, she decided to add the electro-pop melody to the lyrics.
He never makes me feel ashamed
He bounces me high up on his back
He gives me the gold hat when I'm jump attacked
My new boyfriend, my new boyfriend
My new boyfriend
Protects me
He defends me
He respects me
He loves me more than you ever did
My new boyfriend isn't just some kid
My new boyfriend, ooh, my new boyfriend
He call in the trumpets for a laugh
He show me the way it was in Spain
He give me the golly when I'm too insane
My new boyfriend, my new boyfriend
My new boyfriend
Protects me
He defends me
He respects me
He loves me more than you ever did
My new boyfriend isn't just a baby
My new boyfriend isn't just some kid
My new boyfriend, ooh, my new boyfriend
He loves the living daylights out of me
He springs a ladder to the moon
He sings the far side of the tune
He's a driven, silver lover
He can swim under the covers
He's a high, gold bouncing lover
He's a diver and a dreamer
He's a dolphin in the ocean
He's a rival of Orion
My New Boyfriend was written by Carly Simon.
