Girlfriend
Daniel Bedingfield Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
head start spinning around
And all I can ever hear
is the sound
Of your heart beating
in my ears
Girlfriend, this boy has found
another reason to sing
me of everything
That I hold dear in my heart
Chorus:
And I'm feeling elevated
Lifted to my highest dream
My whole world's revolving
in circles round your heart
You gotta be the one for
me or else life
makes no sense
So wrap your arms
around me and
Kiss me till I'm dead
Girlfriend, a girl like you
would take an army to find
How glad I am that you said
you would be mine
Standing there in the cold,
dark night
Girlfriend, let me take you to
the fields of the sun
How much it means to me
that you are the one
That I hold here in my arms
Repeat Chorus
Repeat Second Verse
