Your Girl
Grace Potter Lyrics

I could make you mine
I am attracted to you and feel a strong desire to be in a relationship with you.

I'm so tempted to touch you
I am struggling to resist the urge to initiate physical intimacy with you.

I'm dying to cross the line
I am very eager to take our relationship to the next level, beyond just friendship.

But I like your girl too much
However, I have developed strong feelings of affection and respect for your girlfriend and do not want to cause her any pain.

I never wanted to meet her
I did not seek out a relationship with your girlfriend, this attraction developed naturally and unexpectedly.

But you let me
You introduced me to your girlfriend and allowed us to spend time together, despite the potential for romantic complications.

So you can't tempt me no more
I am now aware of the complexities of our situation and have made the decision to maintain boundaries and resist temptation.

And you can't have it both ways baby
You cannot have a close friendship with me and also pursue a romantic relationship with me at the same time.

So stop (stop) making me burn
Your actions and words are fueling my attraction to you and making it more difficult for me to control my feelings.

When she's not by your side
When your girlfriend is not around, you are more likely to flirt and initiate physical contact with me.

You let our bodies touch
Despite the fact that you have a girlfriend, you have allowed us to engage in physical contact that crosses the boundaries of platonic friendship.

I'm trying to put out the fire
I am actively trying to suppress my romantic feelings for you in order to maintain respect for your relationship with your girlfriend.

'Cause I like your girl too much
My admiration and affection for your girlfriend is strong enough to trump any attraction I feel towards you.

Living in my dream but now
I used to imagine a romantic relationship with you as a fantasy, but now that I am aware of the reality of your situation, I must let go of that dream.

I can't shoot down an angel
I cannot justify hurting your girlfriend, who I view as pure and innocent, for the sake of my own desire for a relationship with you.

Just because I want to be your midnight queen, no no
Although I am attracted to you and desire a romantic relationship, I understand that this desire cannot be fulfilled and I must relinquish this fantasy.

Close my eyes every night
Every night, I attempt to forget my feelings for you and move on.

Try to dream about you but I only see her face
However, my dreams are filled with thoughts of your girlfriend and my respect and admiration for her.

Thought my heart wants you now
Despite my natural attraction to you, I know that pursuing a relationship with you would be wrong and harmful to your girlfriend.

I can live without you now
I am capable of moving on and maintaining a platonic friendship with you, without romantic attachment.

Wish I didn't like your girl, but I do
Despite my desire to rid myself of these romantic feelings, I cannot help but admire and respect your girlfriend for who she is.

And I don't wanna hurt her
Above all, it is important to me to maintain a relationship with your girlfriend that is built on respect and trust, in order to avoid causing her any harm or pain.
