And they don't seem to trust me like they usto
And from the other day you a move half time

You know mi love you but mi naw move blind

But baby girl you know mi change fi the best

In Chris Martin's "Girl Friends," he addresses the issue with his partner's girlfriends not trusting him and questioning his love for his partner. He questions his partner about whether she would leave him to be with her friends or trust what he provides her with. He tries to make it clear that he invests in her and would give her his best. He also asks whether his partner's friends would provide her with what he provides her with, asking whether they would give her what he does, especially during difficult times. The lyrics show that he's willing to change for the better and is ready to communicate with his partner but is tired of her friends negatively influencing their relationship.
The song highlights the importance of trust and communication in relationships while addressing the influence of friends. Chris Martin brings attention to the impact that friends can have on a relationship and how they can either support or harm it. He also depicts the struggles that come with people trying to interfere with a couple who love each other.
