Girlfriend
Jay Sean Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You and I have been chilling for a while now
Never knowing where this thing is gonna end
Will it be another kind of love thing
Or shall we stop and say we'll just be friends

Never thought it would end up being like this
Situation is getting too out of control
Now we're faced with an ultimatum like this
Should I just stay or roll

Coz I got everything you want girl
You got everything I need
And even though you got a man at home girl
You know your love is meant for me

So baby come on now
And take a little time to think it through
Why would u stay with a man
Who just don't understand
What it takes to be with you

We can't have your boyfriend...hanging around
Coz I can't go on like this...playing around
What's it gonna be
Is it him or me
Coz we can't have your boyfriend...hanging around

How can I turn and walk away now
And regret forever what I left behind
Knowing that deep inside my heart girl
You were made for me though you're not mine

Started off as just a little fun though
We thought that we would never cross the line
But now I'm crazy over you
Coz you can settle for his loving
Or you can start a life with me
And even though I know he saw you first girl
It don't mean a thing to me

I know it ain't easy
And you need a little time to think it through
Why would you stay with a man
Who just don't understand
What it takes to be with you

We can't have your boyfriend...hanging around
Coz I can't go on like this...playing around
What's it gonna be




Is it him or me
Coz we can't have your boyfriend...hanging around

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song Girlfriend by Jay Sean tells the tale of a man who has been involved in a casual relationship with a woman for a while but now wants to take it to the next level. He expresses his confusion about their status, saying that they could either be in a relationship or just remain friends. As the song progresses, however, it becomes clear that the man wants more than just a casual fling. He wants to be the woman's boyfriend and is willing to take her from her current partner. He sings about having everything the woman wants and needs, and how their love is meant to be despite her being with someone else.


The man puts an ultimatum in front of the woman, asking her to choose between him and her current partner. He says he cannot continue playing around like this and wants a clear answer about who she wants to be with. He tells her that he cannot have her boyfriend around if they are going to pursue a relationship, and she needs to think about what she wants. He acknowledges that it is not an easy decision, but if the woman wants to be with him, she needs to leave her current partner as he does not understand what it takes to be with her.


Overall, the song is a plea from a man who wants to be in a proper relationship with a woman he cares about, but she is already taken. He tells her that he is willing to wait for her to make a decision but cannot continue in a casual relationship forever.
