Girlfriend

You know I like you right?

'Cause he don't love your eyes

And he don't love your smile

Is he gonna be by your side?

Or will he run and hide?

You don't know 'cause things ain't clear

And baby when you cry

Is he gonna stand by your side?

Does the man even know you're alive?

I got an idea!

Why don't you be my girlfriend?

I'll treat you good (I'll treat you good girl)

I know you hear your friends when they say you should

Does he ease your mind? (nah)

Did you know that love could be a shield, yeah
Asserting that love can protect the listener from getting hurt.

Ever since I saw your face

Nothing in my life has been the same

I walk around just saying your name

Without you my world would end, yeah

I've searched around this whole damn place

My girlfriend, oh
