If I Was Your Girlfriend
[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, oh
Only best friends can

[Refrain]
If I was your girlfriend
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]
If I was your one and only friend
Would you run to me if somebody hurt you
Even if that somebody was me?
Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be
Please
[Refrain]
If I was your girlfriend
If I was your girlfriend

[Breakdown]
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

[Modified Verse 3]
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
