Spend the Night / If You Were My GF
Matt Martians Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's my life

Can we go all the way?
I really think you should stay
Won't you spend the night?
You say you ain't afraid
But it's different from what's on your face
Baby I don't mind

No, no, no, no

Babe I just keep leavin' for some song
I would like you to come on back

Can we go all the way?
I really think you should stay
Won't you spend the night?
You say you ain't afraid
But it's different from what's on your face
Baby I don't mind
No, no, no, no

If Your My GF

Ok, bet, bet, bet, bet, bet
Since you already here though
You might as well just goddamn be my girlfriend (It's The Chord Theory)
I'll treat you real good (It's The Drum Chord Theory)

If you were my girlfriend
I would make you feel good
And if the world should end soon
Know that I got your back forever

So if you were my girlfriend
I would make you feel good (Make you feel real good)
And if the world should end soon
Know that I got your back forever (And ever)

If you were my girlfriend
I would make you feel good
And if the world should end soon
Know that I got your back forever

So if you were my girlfriend
I would make you feel good

And if the world should end soon
Know that I got your back forever
