Teenage Girlfriend
Jude Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bah bah bah bah bah.

Teenage girlfriend such a pretty doll,
Teenage girlfriend, met her at the mall.

She likes to go to coffee at the rose cafe.
She has a lot of guy friends but they're all gay.
It's ok teenage girlfriend.
Teenage girlfriend

Westside, westside, girlfriends are the best kind of girlfriend, you know.




Westside, westside, girlfriends are the best kind of girlfriend, you know.
Westside, westside, girlfriends are the best kind of girlfriend, you know.
