Girlfriend
Zebrahead Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, (hey), you, (you)
I don't like your girlfriend
No way, (no way)
I think you need a new one
Hey, (hey), you, (you)
I could be your girlfriend

Hey, (hey), you, (you)
I know that you like me
No way, (no way)
You know it's not a secret
Hey, (hey), you, (you)
I want to be your girlfriend

You're so fine, I want you mine, you're so delicious
I think about you all the time, you're so addictive
Don't you know what I can do to make you feel alright?
(alright, alright, alright)

Don't pretend, I think you know I'm damn precious
And hell yeah, I'm the motherfucking princess
I can tell you like me too, and you know I'm right
(I'm right, I'm right, I'm right)

She's, like "so whatever"
You can do so much better
I think we should get together now

Hey, (hey), you, (you)
I don't like your girlfriend
No way, (no way)
I think you need a new one
Hey, (hey), you, (you)
I could be your girlfriend

Hey, (hey), you, (you)
I know that you like me
No way, (no way)
You know it's not a secret
Hey, (hey), you, (you)
I want to be your girlfriend

I can see the way, I see the way you look at me
And even when you look away, I know you think of me
I know you talk about me all the time again and again and again, and again, and again

S-s-so
Come over here and tell me what I wanna hear
Or, better yet, make your girlfriend disappear
I don't wanna hear you say her name ever again and again, and again, and again

She's, like "so whatever"
You can do so much better
I think we should get together now

Hey, (hey), you, (you)
I don't like your girlfriend
No way, (no way)
I think you need a new one
Hey, (hey), you, (you)
I could be your girlfriend

Hey, (hey), you, (you)
I know that you like me
No way, (no way)
You know it's not a secret
Hey, (hey), you, (you)
I want to be your girlfriend

In a second, you'll be wrapped around my finger
'Cause I can, 'cause I can do it better
There's no other, so when's it gonna sink in?
She's so stupid, what the hell were you thinking?

(Oah)
In a second you'll be wrapped around my finger
'Cause I can, 'cause I can do it better
There's no other, so when's it gonna sink in?
She's so stupid, what the hell were you thinking?

Hey, you
I don't like your girlfriend
No way
I think you need a new one
Hey, you
I could be your girlfriend

Hey, (hey), you, (you)
I know that you like me
No way, (no way)
You know it's not a secret
Hey, (hey), you, (you)
I want to be your girlfriend

Hey, (hey), you, (you)
I don't like your girlfriend
No way, (no way)
I think you need a new one
Hey, (hey), you, (you)
I could be your girlfriend

Hey, (hey), you, (you)
I know that you like me
No way, (no way)
You know it's not a secret




Hey, (hey), you, (you)
I want to be your girlfriend

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Zebrahead's song Girlfriend are about a girl who wants to be with a guy she likes, but he already has a girlfriend who she doesn't like. The girl is confident that she can do a better job at being the guy's girlfriend than his current girlfriend, who she thinks is stupid. She tells the guy that she knows he likes her and that he should break up with his girlfriend and be with her instead because she's so much better. The lyrics switch between a more aggressive, confident tone where she's confident in herself and knows what she wants, to a more seductive and playful tone where she talks about wanting to be the guy's girlfriend and how he looks at her.


The song has been interpreted as both empowering and problematic. On one hand, the girl is confident and assertive in expressing her feelings for the guy and her belief in herself, but on the other hand, the lyrics promote the idea of trying to steal someone else's partner and disregarding the feelings of the current partner in the situation.

I just finished watching the Avril version before I listened to this one again, and I must say Zebrahead did that song a great favor! And their dance is far more superior to the other version also!

Declan
