If I Was Your Girlfriend Lyrics - Eels

(by Prince) 

Look at the bargains over here, ladies... If I was your girlfriend 

Would U remember 

2 tell me all the things U forgot when I was your man? 

When I was your man If I was your best friend 

Would U let me take care of U 

And do all the things that only a best friend can 

Only best friends can If I was your girlfriend 

If I was your girlfriend If I was your girlfriend 

Would U let me dress U 

I mean, help U pick out your clothes 

Before we go out Not that you're helpless 

But sometime, sometime 

Those are the things that bein' in love's about If I was your one and only friend 

Would U run 2 me if somebody hurt U 

Even if that somebody was me? (Even if that somebody was me?) Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be 

Please If I was your girlfriend 

If I was your girlfriend Would U let me wash your hair 

Could I make U breakfast sometime 

Or then, could we just hang out, I mean 

Could we go 2 a movie and cry together 

'cause 2 me baby that would be so fine (That would be so fine) (If I was your girlfriend) 

Baby can I dress U 

I mean, help U pick out your clothes 

Before we go out 

(If I was your girlfriend) 

Listen girl, I ain't sayin you're helpless 

But sometime, sometime 

Those are the things that bein' in love's about (Sugar) Sugar do U know what I'm saying 2 U this evening? (Sugar) 

Maybe U think I'm being a little self-centered (If I was your girlfriend) 

But I, I said I want 2 be (Sugar) 

All of the things U are 2 me (Sugar) (If I was your girlfriend)

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Surely, surely U can see Is it really necessary 4 me 2 go out of the room 

Just because U wanna undress? (If I was your girlfriend) 

We don't have 2 make children 2 make love 

And we don't have 2 make love 2 have an orgasm (If I was your girlfriend) Your body's what I'm all about (If I was your girlfriend) 

Can I see it? 

I'll show U (If I was your girlfriend) 

Why not? 

U can do it because I'm your friend 

I'll do it 4 U 

Of course I'll undress in front of U! (If I was your girlfriend) 

And when I'm naked, what shall I do? 

How can I make U see that it's cool? (If I was your girlfriend) 

Can't U just trust me? 

If I was your girlfriend U could (If I was your girlfriend) 

Oh, yeah, I think so 

Listen, 4 U naked I would dance a ballet (If I was your girlfriend) 

Would that get U off? 

Then tell me what will! 

If I was your girlfriend, would U tell me? (If I was your girlfriend) 

Would U let me see U naked then? 

Would U let me give U a bath? 

Would U let me tickle U so hard U'd laugh and laugh (If I was your girlfriend) 

And would U, would U let me kiss U there (If I was your girlfriend) 

You know down there where it counts (If I was your girlfriend) 

I'll do it so good I swear I'll drink every ounce 

And then I'll hold U tight and hold U long (If I was your girlfriend) And together we'll stare into silence 

And we'll try 2 imagine what it looks like 

Yeah, we'll try 2 imagine what, what silence looks like 

Yeah, we'll try 2 imagine what silence looks like 

Yeah, we'll try...
