lyrics

He calls you up in the middle of the day
“We’re out of school, so throw your homework away.”
The second you step out the door you know what’s in store
He calls you up in the middle of the night
“Don’t tell your parents, I’m waiting outside.”
The second you slip out the door you know what’s in store

And here you’re waiting at his favorite spot in town
You’re still surprised that there are any left around
He drags you to the newest cabinet they’ve got
Your arcade boyfriend’s gonna jam it in the slot

Games one can play, throw all your quarters away!
Arcade boyfriend

He calls you up in the middle of the day
“We’re out of school, so throw your homework away.”
The second you step out the door you know what’s in store
He calls you up in the middle of the night
“Don’t tell your parents, I’m waiting outside.”
The second you slip out the door you know what’s in store

And now you’re waiting at his favorite spot in town
You’re just a face inside the crowd that’s gathered round
Got records set on every godforsaken game
They all go wild but to you it’s all the same

Games one can play, throw all your quarters away!
Arcade boyfriend

Yeah, he’s a show-off, but that doesn’t bother you as such
But if he ever played with you it wouldn’t hurt so much

And as he revels in the victories he’s won
Another night has been surrendered to the sun
It charmed you once but now this love is such a chore
Just wants an audience to watch him claim his scores

Games one can play, throw all your quarters away!
Arcade boyfriend
