Girlfriends

[Verse 1]
We were half-asleep, we were half-awakened
It's hard to find yourself in eleventh grade, so
We go out and we drink too much
Just to have an excuse to touch
And make out so the jocks could watch
They'd say, "Oh, my God, that's so hot"

[Chorus]
I wanted to be girlfriends
But we were just girl friends, yeah
I wanted to be girlfriends
But we were just girl friends, yeah
I know you wanted me, too
Yeah, even back thеn, I knew
You wanted to be girlfriеnds
But we were just girl friends, yeah
(We were just girl friends)

[Verse 2]
There was something different 'bout us
But we didn't show it
Maybe we were scared of ourselves
Maybe homophobic
You took my hand, pulled me out to the hall
Pushed me hard up against the wall
And I said, "We should go back in"
Didn't want anybody to think

[Chorus]
I wanted to be girlfriends
But we were just girl friends, yeah
I wanted to be girlfriends
But we were just girl friends, yeah
I know you wanted me, too
Yeah, even back then, I knew
You wanted to be girlfriends
But we were just girl friends, yeah
(We were just girl friends)

[Bridge]
I saw your boyfriend one night at the bar
He leaned in real close
Over the noise, I asked how you are
He said that he knows
He knows that we used to kiss
He laughed like it was joke
I guess he don't know
I guess he don't know that

[Chorus]
I wanted to be girlfriends
But we were just girl friends, yeah
I wanted to be girlfriends
But we were just girl friends, yeah
I know you wanted me, too
That's something we couldn't do
You wanted to be girlfriends
But we were just girl friends, yeah
(We were just girl friends, yeah)
