Girlfriend
N´Sync Lyrics

Would you be my girlfriend?
Asking the girl if she wants to be in a romantic relationship with him.

I don't know why you care (Why you thinkin' about it mama?)
Doubting the girl's interest in another guy who doesn't even notice her.

He doesn't even know you're there, oh no
Noticing that the other guy is unaware of the girl's presence.

'Cause he don't love your eyes
Pointing out that the other guy doesn't appreciate the girl's physical features.

And he don't love your smile
Pointing out that the other guy doesn't appreciate the girl's personality.

Girl you know that ain't fair
Noting the unfairness of the situation for the girl.

In the middle of the night
Asking whether the girl's current partner will be there to comfort her during difficult times.

Is he gonna be by your side?
Questioning the girl's boyfriend's loyalty and commitment toward her.

Or will he run and hide?
Wondering if the girl's current partner will abandon her in her time of need.

You don't know 'cause things ain't clear
Acknowledging that the girl is unsure of where she stands in her current relationship.

And baby when you cry
Pledging to be there for the girl when she is feeling emotional.

Is he gonna stand by your side?
Rhetorically asking whether or not the girl's current partner is reliable during tough times.

Does the man even know you're alive?
Pointing out that the girl's boyfriend may not even recognize her worth or presence in his life.

I got an idea!
Suggesting a solution to the girl's current problems in her relationship.

Why don't you be my girlfriend?
Asking the girl again to be with him instead of her current partner.

I'll treat you good (I'll treat you good girl)
Promising to be a good partner who will treat her well.

I know you hear your friends when they say you should
Acknowledging that the girl's friends have also encouraged her to be with him.

'Cause if you were my girlfriend
Imagining what their relationship could be like if the girl was with him instead.

I'd be your shining star
Promising to be a bright and positive influence in her life.

The one to show you where you are
Offering guidance and support to the girl in navigating her life.

Ever since I saw your face
Expressing how much he has been drawn to the girl since he first saw her.

Nothing in my life has been the same
Describing how the girl has had a transformative effect on his life.

I walk around just saying your name
Admitting that he thinks about the girl often and can't get her out of his head.

Without you my world would end, yeah
Emphasizing how important the girl is to him and how he couldn't imagine life without her.

I've searched around this whole damn place
Implying that he has searched around for a partner but hasn't found anyone like the girl.

And everything says you were meant to be
Believing that their connection is destiny.

My girlfriend, oh
Expressing how much he wants her to be his partner.

Girl you should be my girlfriend
Reiterating his desire for the girl to be with him.

My girlfriend!
Affirming his love and want for the girl to be his partner.
