If I Was Your Girlfriend Lyrics

[Intro]
"Look at the bargains over here, ladies"
Ooh, woah
Ooh-hoo
Oh yeah
Ooh-hoo

[Verse 1]
If I was your girlfriend
Would you remember
To tell me all the things you forgot
When I was your man?
Hey, hey, when I was your man?

[Verse 2]
If I was your best friend
Would you let me take care of you
And do all the things that only a best friend can? Oh
Only best friends can? (Ooh)

[Chorus]
If I was your girlfriend
Ooh, ooh
If I was your girlfriend

[Verse 3]
If I was your girlfriend
Would you let me dress you?
I mean, help you pick out your clothes
Before we go out?
Not that you're helpless
But sometimes, sometimes
Those are the things
That bein' in love's about

[Verse 4]
And if I was your one and only friend
Wouldn’t you run to me if somebody hurt you
Even if that somebody was me?
Yeah
Sometimes, I trip on how happy
We could be, please

[Chorus]
If I was your girlfriend
Ooh, oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
If I was your girlfriend

[Bridge]
Would you let me wash your hair?
Could I make you breakfast sometime?
Or then, could we just hang out? I mean
Could we go to a movie and cry together?
'Cause to me, baby, that would be so fine
Woo-hoo

[Chorus]
(If I was your girlfriend)
Baby, can I dress you?
I mean, help you pick out your clothes
Before we go out?
(If I was your girlfriend)
Listen, girl, I ain't sayin' you're helpless
But sometimes, sometimes
Those are the things
That bein' in love's about
(Sugar, sugar)
Sugar, do you know what I'm sayin' to you this evening?
(If I was your girlfriend)
Maybe you think I'm being a little self-centered
But I, I said I want to be
(Sugar, sugar)
All of the things you are to me
(If I was your girlfriend)
Surely, surely, you can see

[Outro]
Is it really necessary for me to go out of the room
Just because you wanna undress?
(If I was your girlfriend)
We don't have to make children to make love
And we don't have to make love to have an orgasm
(If I was your girlfriend)
Your body's what I'm all about
(If I was your girlfriend) Can I see you? I'll show you
(If I was your girlfriend) Why not?
You can do it because I'm your friend, I'd do it for you
(If I was your girlfriend)
Of course I'd undress in front of you
And when I'm naked, what shall I do?
(If I was your girlfriend)
How can I make you see that it's cool?
Can't you just trust me?
If I was your girlfriend, you could
(If I was your girlfriend) Oh, yeah, I think so
Listen, for you, naked, I would dance a ballet
(If I was your girlfriend) Would that get you off?
Then tell me what will
If I was your girlfriend, would you tell me?
(If I was your girlfriend)
Would you let me see you naked, then?
Would you let me give you a bath?
(If I was your girlfriend)
Would you let me tickle you so hard
You'd laugh and laugh?
And would you, would you let me kiss you there?
(If I was your girlfriend)
You know, down there where it counts
I'll do it so good, I swear I'll drink every ounce
And then I'll hold you tight and hold you long
(If I was your girlfriend)
And together, we'll stare into silence

And we'll try to imagine what it looks like
Yeah, we'll try to imagine what, what silence looks like
Yeah, we'll, we'll try to imagine what silence looks like
Yeah, we'll try
