The Girlfriend lyrics by Avril Lavigne stand for simplicity of message in that there is little guesswork in what the song is about. Boy has girlfriend and other girl, the singer of the Girlfriend lyrics, wants boy to dump his girlfriend and choose her instead. Even though the song is seemingly simple from first glance and perhaps full of bubblegum spirit, Avril Lavigne does use a few nice techniques in the song.For instance, in the Girlfriend lyrics there is a line in the second verse that says, “So come over here, tell me what I want to hear”. Notice the rhyming and repetition of the homonyms “here” and “hear”. Another rhyme of note in the Girlfriend lyrics are near then end when Lavigne rhymes “sink in” with “thinking”. Now, at Alcoholics Anonymous meetings they may call this “stinkin’ thinkin'”, but here we just call this good use of rhyme.Sure, there are other more complex verbiage used in songs other than the Girlfriend lyrics, but we already know that Avril Lavigne can write. So, sometimes a little less is just enough to pull off the feel of a particular song. And, the Girlfriend lyrics have just enough meat for a lyricist to chew on and want to hear more. |
Girlfriend Lyrics
[Chorus]
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I don’t like your girlfriend!
No way! No way!
I think you need a new one
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I could be your girlfriend
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I know that you like me
No way! No way!
No it’s not a secret
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I want to be your girlfriend
[Verse 1]
You’re so fine
I want you mine
You’re so delicious
I think about ya all the time
You’re so addictive
Don’t you know what I could do to make you feel alright?
Don’t pretend I think you know I’m damn precious
And Hell Yeah
I’m the motherf*cking princess
I can tell you like me too and you know I’m right
[Bridge]
She’s like so whatever
You could do so much better
I think we should get together now
And that’s what everyone’s talking about!
[Chorus]
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I don’t like your girlfriend!
No way! No way!
I think you need a new one
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I could be your girlfriend
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I know that you like me
No way! No way!
No it’s not a secret
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I want to be your girlfriend
[Verse 2]
I can see the way, I see the way you look at me
And even when you look away I know you think of me
I know you talk about me all the time again and again
So come over here, tell me what I want to hear
Better yet make your girlfriend disappear
I don’t want to hear you say her name ever again
(And again and again and again!)
[Bridge]
She’s like so whatever
You could do so much better
I think we should get together now
And that’s what everyone’s talking about!
[Chorus]
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I don’t like your girlfriend!
No way! No way!
I think you need a new one
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I could be your girlfriend
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I know that you like me
No way! No way!
No it’s not a secret
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I want to be your girlfriend
In a second you’ll be wrapped around my finger
Cause I can, cause I can do it better
There’s no other
So when’s it gonna sink in?
She’s so stupid
What the hell were you thinking?!
[repeat]
[Chorus (repeat)]
