Girlfriend
★N Sync Lyrics

Would you be my girlfriend?
Asking if the other person would like to start a romantic relationship.

You know I like you right?
Confirming that the singer has feelings for the other person.

I don't know why you care (Why you thinkin' about it mama?)
Questioning why the other person is still pursuing someone who doesn't love them back.

He doesn't even know you're there, oh no
Pointing out that the person of interest doesn't even acknowledge the other person's presence.

'Cause he don't love your eyes
Stating that the person of interest doesn't appreciate the physical features of the other person.

And he don't love your smile
Stating that the person of interest doesn't appreciate the physical features of the other person.

Girl you know that ain't fair
Expressing sympathy for the other person's situation.

In the middle of the night
Asking if the person of interest will be there during difficult times.

Is he gonna be by your side?
Asking if the person of interest will be there during difficult times.

Or will he run and hide?
Questioning if the person of interest will step up during difficult times or abandon them.

You don't know 'cause things ain't clear
Recognizing that the other person is uncertain about the status of their relationship.

And baby when you cry
Asking if the person of interest will provide emotional support during hard times.

Does the man even know you're alive?
Questioning if the person of interest even acknowledges the other person's existence.

I got an idea!
Suggesting that being in a relationship with the singer would be a better option for the other person.

Why don't you be my girlfriend?
Reiterating the offer to start a romantic relationship.

I'll treat you good (I'll treat you good girl)
Promising to treat the other person with respect and care.

Does he know what you feel? (does he know what you feel?)
Questioning if the person of interest's feelings are reciprocated by the other person.

Are you sure that it's real? Yeah yeah yeah (are you sure?)
Asking if the person of interest is certain about their feelings for the other person, and if their feelings are genuine.

Does he ease your mind? (nah)
Stating that the person of interest doesn't provide emotional support.

Or does he break your stride? (c'mon)
Asking if the person of interest is being held back by their current relationship.

Did you know that love could be a shield, yeah
Suggesting that being in a loving relationship could provide emotional protection for the other person.

Ever since I saw your face
Expressing the intense attraction the artist feels for the other person.

Nothing in my life has been the same
Stating that meeting the other person has had a profound impact on the singer.

I walk around just saying your name
Expressing how much the other person is on the artist's mind.

Without you my world would end, yeah
Stating that being without the other person would be devastating for the singer.

I've searched around this whole damn place
Implying that the singer has looked for someone better than the other person but failed to find anyone who compares.

And everything says you were meant to be
Stating that the singer believes that they are destined to be with the other person.

My girlfriend, oh
Expressing love and affection for the other person.

Girl you should be my girlfriend
Reiterating the offer to start a romantic relationship.

My girlfriend!
Expressing happiness at the idea of being in a relationship with the other person.
