Lil Mama and Avril Lavigne

Hey, hey, you, you, I don't like your girlfriend
No way, no way, I think you need a new one
Hey, hey, you, you, I could be your girlfriend
I could be your girl, Lil Mama be your girlfriend

Hey, hey, you, you, I know that you like me
No way, no way, no, it's not a secret
Hey, hey, you, you, I want to be your girlfriend
I could be your girl, Lil Mama be your girlfriend

Don't get it twisted, Lil Mama got her paper on
That mean I'm a paper chaser, I chase my paper on
And I gon' be chasing paper that you be chasing on
I just deliver them lyrics that people focus on
Get up in the booth and a chopped-up song
Put it in a store and they go cops on
Everybody know that it's no compo
Y'all better lay low like popos
'Case you ain't know, better already know
I goes in like Pac, Jay, so
So get it Biggie, Mama
B-R-double O-K-lyn drama

Hey, hey, you, you, I don't like your girlfriend (nope)
No way, no way, I think you need a new one (yep)
Hey, hey, you, you, I could be your girlfriend (yep)
I could be your girl, Lil Mama be your girlfriend

Hey, hey, you, you, I know that you like me (yep)
No way, no way, no, it's not a secret
Hey, hey, you, you, I want to be your girlfriend (yep)
I could be your girl, Lil Mama be your girlfriend

Please, eight bars and stop
All I know's sixteen to pop
Told y'all y'all better act on top
Been doing this since Hop on Pop
Aww, thought about it can't stop
Problem is I'm crack on rocks
Problem is they love Mama style
So I gotta go harder than I did before
Her style is crossover
PeeWee Kirkland, Lil Mama
Ms. Kirkland's going in
So when you see me in the drop top shades
In the summer-time blazing
You wanna be my boyfriend

Hey, hey, you, you, I don't like your girlfriend (nope)
No way, no way, I think you need a new one (yep)
Hey, hey, you, you, I could be your girlfriend (yep)
I could be your girl, Lil Mama be your girlfriend

Hey, hey, you, you, I know that you like me (yep)
No way, no way, no, it's not a secret
Hey, hey, you, you, I want to be your girlfriend (yep)
I could be your girl, Lil Mama be your girlfriend

Uh, in a second you'll be wrapped around my finger
'Cause I can, 'cause I can do it better
There's no other, so when's it gonna sink in?
She's so stupid, what the hell were you thinking?

Uh, in a second you'll be wrapped around my finger
'Cause I can, 'cause I can do it better
There's no other, so when's it gonna sink in?
She's so stupid, what the hell were you thinking?

I ain't hating, but, your girl's a bird
You by my side, make it work
You and her, that sounds absurd
Me and you more better, you heard?
You hear the way them girls laugh in the back
That's 'cause I spit crack on the track
I'm 'a keep it real boy, I'm tryna mack
Let me know if you down with that
Me and your girlfriend we ain't no tie
You better ask T.I.
I'm telling you like Jennifer Hudson
I got plastic elastic in the back of the Jag with chauffeur
Stacks, I'm popping tags on purses, bags is filled
I laugh 'cause this is nothing

Hey, hey, you, you, I don't like your girlfriend
No way, no way, I think you need a new one
Hey, hey, you, you, I could be your girlfriend
I could be your girl, Lil Mama be your girlfriend

Hey, hey, you, you, I know that you like me
No way, no way, no, it's not a secret

Lil Mama and Avril Lavigne




I could be your girl, Lil Mama be your girlfriend
Hey, hey
