Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If I was your girlfriend
Would you remember to tell me all the things you forgot
When I was your man?
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 do?
Only best friends can
[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 being in love's about
[Verse 4]
And if I was your one and only friend
Would you run to me if somebody hurt you?
Even if that somebody was me?
[Verse 5]
Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be
Please
[Verse 6]
If I was your girlfriend
If I was your girlfriend
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
If I was your girlfriend
Baby, can I dress you?
I mean, help you pick out your clothes
Before we go out
Listen girl, I ain't saying you're helpless
But sometimes, sometimes
Those are the things that being in love's about
[Verse 9]
Sugar, do you know what I'm saying to you this evening?
Maybe you think I'm being a little self-centered
But I, I said I want to be all of the things you are to me
Surely, surely you can see
Is it really necessary for me to go out of the room
Just because you wanna undress?
We don't have to make children to make love
We don't have to make love to have an audience
