[Intro]
If I were to walk through the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston
Well, first I'd go to the room where they keep the Cézannes
But if I had by my side a girlfriend
Well, I could look right through the paintings
I could look right through them

[Verse 1]
Because I'd have found something that I understand
I can understand (even softer) a girlfriend

[Chorus]
I'll tell ya, girlfriend
That's G-I-R-L-F-R-E-N
Oh, that's a girlfriend, baby
That's something that I (softer) understand

[Verse 2]
I walk through the Fenway
I have my heart in my hands
I understand a girlfriend

[Chorus]
That means girlfriend
Said G-I-R-L-F-R-E-N
That's a girlfriend, baby
That's something that I understand
[Instrumental break]

[Verse 3]
I walk through the Fenway
Four o'clock in the afternoon
I have my heart in my hands
I really understand what it means
To have a girlfriend

[Chorus]
Not kidding, girlfriend
That's G-I-R-L-F-R-E-N
That's a girlfriend, baby
Oh, that's something that I understand

[Outro, spoken]
Thank you very much
