Girlfriend
NSYNC Lyrics

Would you be my girlfriend
Asking for confirmation if the person would agree to be in a relationship

I don't know why you care
Expressing confusion why the person is still interested in someone who doesn't reciprocate their feelings

He doesn't even know you're there (Oh no)
Pointing out that the person's crush doesn't even acknowledge their presence

'Cause he don't love your eyes
Stating that the person's crush doesn't appreciate their physical attributes like their eyes

And he don't love your smile
Stating that the person's crush doesn't appreciate their physical attributes like their smile

Girl you know that ain't fair
Highlighting the unfairness of the situation

In the middle of the night
Referring to a time when the person might need support from their partner

Is he gonna be by your side?
Questioning whether the person's crush will be there for them during tough times

Or will he run and hide?
Questioning whether the person's crush will avoid difficult situations

You don't know 'cause things ain't clear
Admitting that the situation is unclear and uncertain

And baby when you cry
Referring to when the person might become emotional

Is he gonna stand by your side?
Asking whether the person's crush will support them during difficult situations

Does the man even know you're alive?
Asking whether the person's crush is aware of their presence

I got an idea!
Introducing an idea to solve the person's problems

Why don't you be my girlfriend
Proposing a solution where the person becomes the singer's girlfriend

I'll treat you good (I'll treat you good girl)
Promising to treat the person well if they become the singer's girlfriend

I know you hear your friends when they say you should
Acknowledging that the person's friends might have similar opinions about the situation

'Cause if you were my girlfriend
Presenting a hypothetical situation where the person is the singer's girlfriend

I'd be your shining star
Promising to be a shining example for the person to follow

The one to show you where you are
Promising to guide the person towards their goals

Ever since I saw your face
Describing the moment when the singer first saw the person

Nothing in my life has been the same
Expressing how the person has impacted the singer's life

I walk around just saying your name
Admitting that the person's name is always on the singer's mind

Without you my world would end, yeah
Emphasizing the importance of the person in the singer's life

I've searched around this whole damn place
Expressing that the singer has searched for someone like the person throughout their life

And everything says you were meant to be
Believing that the person is the perfect fit for the singer

My girlfriend, oh
Expressing that the person should be the singer's girlfriend

Girl You Should Be My Girlfriend
Reiterating the proposal and emphasizing the importance of the person to the singer

My Girlfriend!
Expressing the singer's desire for the person to be their official girlfriend
