No way, no way, I think you need a new one
Hey, hey, you, you, I could be your girlfriend
Hey, hey, you, you, I know that you like me
No, no way, you know it's not a secret
Hey, hey, you, you, I want to be your girlfriend
I think about you all the time, you're so addictive
Don't you know what I can do to make you feel alright?
Alright, alright, alright
Don't pretend, I think you know I'm precious
And so yeah, I'm a hey, hey princess
I can tell you like me too and you know I'm right
I'm right, I'm right, I'm right
She's like so whatever
You could do so much better
I think we should get together now
And that's what everybody's talking about
Hey, hey, you, you, I don't like you girlfriend
No way, no way, I think you need a new one
Hey, hey, you, you, I could be your girlfriend
Hey, hey, you, you, I know that you like me
No way, no way, you know it's not a secret
Hey, hey, you, you, I want to be you girlfriend
I can see the way, I see the way you look at me
And even when you look away I know you think of me
I know you talk about me all the time again and again
And again and again and again
So come over here and tell me what I wanna hear
Better yet, make your girlfriend disappear
I don't wanna hear you say her name ever again
And again and again and again
'Cause she's like so whatever
And she could do so much better
I think we should get together now
And that's what everybody's talking about
Hey, hey, you, you, I don't like your girlfriend
No way, no way, I think you need a new one
Hey, hey, you, you, I could be your girlfriend
Hey, hey, you, you, I know that you like me
No way, no way, you know it's not a secret
Hey, hey, you, you, I want to be your girlfriend
Oh, in a second you'll be wrapped around my finger
Woo, 'cause I can, 'cause I can do it better
There's no other, so when's it gonna sink in?
Hey, she's so stupid, just what were you thinking?
Oh, in a second you'll be wrapped around my finger
'Cause I can, 'cause I can do it better
There's no other, so when's it gonna sink in?
Hey, she's so stupid, just what were you thinking?
Hey, hey, you, you I don't like your girlfriend
No way, no way, I think you need a new one
Hey, hey, you, you, I could be your girlfriend
No way, no way
Hey, hey, I know that you like me
No way, no way, you know it's not a secret
Hey, hey, I want to be your girlfriend
No way, no way, no way, no way
The Mini Pop Kids' song "Girlfriend" is a catchy pop tune about a girl who wants to be with a boy but doesn't like his current girlfriend. The song starts by expressing the singer's dislike for the boy's girlfriend and suggesting that he needs a new one. The singer then flirts with the boy, asserting that she knows he likes her and that she could be his girlfriend. The chorus repeats the central message of the song -- the boy needs a new girlfriend, and the singer wants to be the replacement. The singer then goes on to assert that the boy is always thinking about her, talking about her, and that her arrival will make his current girlfriend disappear. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus and a declaration that the boy should choose the singer over his current girlfriend.
On one level, "Girlfriend" is a lighthearted pop tune about teenage romance and flirtation. However, it also touches on themes of jealousy and possessiveness. The singer is dismissive of the boy's current girlfriend and insinuates that she is not good enough for him. She also makes it clear that she wants the boy for herself and is willing to do whatever it takes to make him hers. Thus, the song could be interpreted as a somewhat problematic representation of romantic relationships, in which the man is seen as the prize to be won and the woman is pitted against one another.
Overall, "Girlfriend" is a fun and catchy pop song that is sure to get stuck in your head. However, it's important to recognize some of the underlying messages that it communicates about relationships and gender roles.
