Nsync Featuring Nelly Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Would you be my Girlfriend? [Repeat: x3]
I like you, right
Would you be my Girlfriend?

I don't know why you care
He doesn't even know you're there
Cause he don't love your eyes
And he don't love your smile
Girl you know that ain't fair

In the middle of the night
Is he going to be by your side
Or will he run and hide
You don't know cuz things ain't clear
And baby when you cry
Is he gonna stand by your side
Does the man even know you're alive
I got an idea

Why don't you be my girlfriend
I'll treat you good
I know you hear your friends when they say
You should
Cause if you were my girlfriend
I'd be your shining star
The one who'll show you where you are
Girl you should be my girlfriend

Does he know what you feel
Are you sure that t's real
Does he ease your mind
Or does he break your stride
Did you know that love could be a shield

In the middle of the night correcting
Is he going to be BY your side
Or will he run and hide
You don't know cause things ain't clear
And baby when you cry
Is he gonna stand by your side
Does the man even know you're alive
I got an idea

Why don't you be my girlfriend
I'll treat you good
I know you hear your friends when they say
You should
Cause if you were my girlfriend
I'd be your shining star
The one who'll show you where you are
Girl you should be my girlfriend

Ever since I saw your face
Nothing in my life has been the same
I'll walk around just saying your name
Without you, my world would end, yeah
I've looked around this whole, damn place
And everything says you were meant to be
My girlfriend, oh

Why don't you be my girlfriend
I'll treat you good
I know you hear your friends when they say
You should
Cause if you were my girlfriend
I'd be your shining star
The one who'll show you where you are
Girl you should be my girlfriend





Girl you should be My girlfriend [Repeat: x5]
My girlfriend

Overall Meaning

The song "Girlfriend," performed by Nsync and featuring Nelly, is a tale of unrequited love. The singer sings about a girl who is in love with someone who doesn't appreciate her worth. He questions the validity of her current relationship and offers himself as a better option. He notes how her current boyfriend doesn't even know she exists, and he mentions that he will be her shining star and make her feel appreciated. He also discusses the possibility that the girl's current boyfriend might not be there for her in the middle of the night but offers the suggestion that he will be.


The song's message is simple: the singer believes that he could be a better partner than the girl's current boyfriend is. He recognizes that she is not being treated with the love and respect she deserves and offers to be there for her instead. The song's catchy chorus is an appeal for the girl to leave her current relationship and become his girlfriend. The lyrics are delivered over a smooth R&B beat, with Nelly's rap verse keeping the song fresh and contemporary.
