Queen Pen: Me'shell Ndegeocello, play for me, see'mon talk to me
Me'shell: anyone know, it never ceases to amaze me how everbody's always in
somebody else's business, looking for something, but 'cha know, for what
it's worth -

(chorus)
Queen Pen: If that was your girlfriend, if that was your girlfriend, if that

And i got mad niggaz just checkin' for me see
I got more stock than you ever see, i be...
The one that your main squeeze been diggin
Pull you out your closet, sex on weekends

So while you be yappin' and talkin to your friends
Beefin 'bout that yellow chicken, the green benz

(chorus)
(verse 2)
Me'shell: so queen tell me, where did you meet her,
Queen Pen: On the sunday, mac, she was walking out ???
I was just chillin, mindin my own business
Sittin on the corner, waitin for my sister
When she slid by, maybe 4 or 5 times
Wanted me to notice the rhythm of her thighs
Oh boy, uh, girls are just so funny to me
I can see how niggas get into these beefs
She knew she had a man when she came up in the piece
She said she was a regular and how about me,
If she gave me her digits would i call her after three
The way she fliked her hips made you move to have to see
How these chinese jamaican tried to draw it by me
It never ceases to amaze me
Me'shell: Ain't nobody gotta know just how much you want me
(chorus)
(verse 3)
Now how i've ran, you've only a few
But you can back track and ask them how i do it how it is
Who the flyest chick, with the phattest whip
And run her all night, like a burger with a chip
And if it's all good then i feature it again
Like a fix remix, (if you need a fix)
See you gots to be real like my ex beverly
You don't have your man just stressin out on me
Coz he can't control how you throw your pussy
I'm a baller and i been for a ???
And if i choose to jerk her off then it's all on me
See you claimed that was your girl, well that's not how it seems
Uh, it never ceases to amaze me
Me'shell: Coz i like to get down so if you's wants ta i will
I love to love ya' baby
(chorus)
The song "Girlfriend" by Queen Pen is a bold and unapologetic exploration of polyamory and sexual liberation. The lyrics are a conversation between Queen Pen and Me'shell Ndegeocello, where they express their disdain for people who are always interested in other people's business. They boast about their sexual escapades and make it clear that they are not interested in traditional monogamous relationships. The chorus "Girlfriend, girlfriend, yes I had your girlfriend. If that was your girlfriend, she wasn't last night" is a direct challenge to anyone who thinks they can claim Queen Pen's partners.
The first verse of the song is a testament to Queen Pen's confidence in her sexuality, as she boasts about the number of people who desire her. She also implies that she has had sexual relationships with both men and women, making it clear that she is not restricted to any particular gender. The second verse is about the specific encounter that led to the chorus of the song. Queen Pen explains how she met a woman who claimed to have a boyfriend but still flirted with her. The verse ends with the line "It never ceases to amaze me," which could be interpreted as a commentary on how people always pretend to be monogamous but are really interested in exploring their sexuality.
