Lyrics

Girlfriend, haven't seen you much
You've been pretty busy lately
Tryin' to juggle all of your commitments
Do you think you could make a little time for me?
Cuz girlfriend, I've got somethin'
Weighin' on my mind I wanna tell you
Don't wanna tell my mama or the preacher
For some conversations only girlfriends will do
There's nobody else I'd ever trust
To give it to me straight like you've always done

There's no one like a girlfriend
Nobody else is gonna listen
When you just feel like whinin' and complainin'
About all that's frustratin' you
Nobody knows you like a girlfriend
Nobody else will have your back when
All your flyin' turns to fallin', then out of the blue
Who comes to rescue you?
It's gonna be a girlfriend

Girlfriend, you've been witnessin'
All the trouble I've had gettin' over him
Yeah, I know it wasn't always wonderful
Still I wasn't ready to let go of it
Then I heard from his neighbor
He's already moved on to someone new
Funny thing- she drives the same car you drive
And he said she looks a whole lot like you
I told him all of his evidence
Was nothing more than coincidence

That doesn't sound like a girlfriend
I said you'd never let that happen
When you know I've been sufferin', I'm cryin'
Every night on the phone to you
Pourin' my heart out to you girlfriend
Now I find out you've been lyin'
All this time you've been sneakin' around with him
From the look on your face it's true
I can't believe I called you girlfriend

The unwritten girlfriends' handbook says
No matter what you never date a girlfriend's ex
But you know-

You're not my only girlfriend
The others know what you've been doin'
If I were you I'd stay vigilant and look out for them
Cuz they're not too pleased with you
They're what you call real friends
I know that's somethin' you don't understand
So for the record let me clue you in
They'll male sure you get
Everything that's comin' to you
You better watch out for my girlfriends
Better watch out for my girlfriends
You shoulda' been a better girlfriend
