(Hey-la hey-la my girlfriend's back)
If you see her coming better head out on the double
(Hey-la hey-la my girlfriend's back)
She's the biggest girl in all the 6th grade
(Hey-la hey-la my girlfriend's back)
If I were you I'd go and find a teacher aid
Yeah, you thought that you were funny
Now she's taking your lunch money
She's stayed back for quite a few years
(Hey-la hey-la my girlfriend's back)
She smokes and drinks and she's got all her pubic hairs
(Hey-la hey-la my girlfriend's back)
That's her Harley sitting out in the schoolyard
(Hey-la hey-la my girlfriend's back)
You're gonna wish you never called me a retard
(Hey-la hey-la my girlfriend's back)
'Cause you thought you were so funny
Now look who's got your lunch money
You've been spreading lies that I contracted cooties
And now my girl is gonna kick your little bootie
Wait and see
If you want to see your Mom we'll need some compensation
(Hey-la hey-la my girlfriend's back)
So cough up your Pokemons and your PlayStation
(Hey-la hey-la my girlfriend's back)
Yeah my girlfriend's back
Well alright now, my girlfriend's back
Well I can see her coming so you better start a running
All right now, yeah
Here comes my little addict with her semi-automatic
All right now, yeah
The song "Girlfriend" by Bob revolves around a middle school boy whose girlfriend returns to school after a prolonged absence. The boy's girlfriend is the biggest girl in sixth grade, has been held back several times, and is far more mature than her peers. The boy warns a boy who had been bullying him while his girlfriend was gone that she's back, and he's going to be in trouble. The song's lyrics point out that the girlfriend is a tough girl who smokes, drinks, rides a Harley, and the lyrics imply that she has an addiction to semi-automatic guns.
The song's underlying meaning is a warning about the consequences of bullying. The bully thought he was funny by spreading lies about the singer and taking his lunch money. But the singer's girlfriend, who is tougher than him, has come back to handle the situation. The lyrics emphasize the girlfriend's strength in contrast to the other boys in the sixth grade by referring to her smoking and drinking, staying back several years, and having all her pubic hair. The lyrics convey a sense of empowerment for individuals who are usually depicted as weak, demonstrating that with the right support, anyone can fight even the strongest bullies in class.
