[Verse 2]

[Chorus]

And if you liked me too
I could be your girlfriend
You could be my dude

And if you liked me too
I could be your girlfriend

[Post-Chorus]

Dude
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
I really like you
And if you liked me too
I could be your girlfriend
I really like you
And if you liked me too
I could be your girlfriend
[Chorus]
I really like you
And if you liked me too
I could be your girlfriend
You could be my dude
I really like you
And if you liked me too
I could be your girlfriend
You could be my dude
[Post-Chorus]
Dude
You could be my dude
Dude
You could be my dude
Dude
You could be my dude
Dude
