Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And why you keep on looking at me like that
Why does nobody else make me feel the way you do
'Cause the only thing I'm thinking right now is damn
Why you gotta have a girlfriend
Why you gotta be taken
Why you gotta be breaking my heart
Why you gotta be perfect
What you tryna do to me
Why you gotta be all that I want
Say it again
Say it again
Why you gotta have a girlfriend
(Why you gotta)
(Why you gotta)
(Yeah, yeah)
Why you gotta have a girlfriend
(Why you gotta)
(Why you gotta)
(Yeah, yeah)
God I wish that I could just go back and meet you first
'Cause I'm dying to know
How good it is kissing you
Every minute I keep getting more jealous of her
I wanna do everything she gets to do
Why you gotta have a girlfriend
Why you gotta be taken
Why you gotta be breaking my heart
Before we even start
Why you gotta be perfect
What you tryna do to me
Why you gotta be all that I want
Say it again
Say it again
Why you gotta have a girlfriend
(Why you gotta)
(Why you gotta)
(Yeah, yeah)
Why you gotta have a girlfriend
(Why you gotta)

(Yeah, yeah)
Why can't you be single
Why you gotta be with her
I just wanna have you
I don't wanna wait my turn
Why you gotta have a girlfriend
Why can't you be single

I just wanna have you
I don't wanna wait my turn
Why you gotta have a girlfriend
