affirmation Songtext

affirmation Songtext
I got used to bein′ selfish
I got used to bein' lonely
I got used to not needin′ nobody, nobody
I got used to puttin' me first
I got used to lovin' myself
But now I want a girlfriend
But now I want a girlfriend
But now I want a girlfriend
But now I want a girlfriend
Who wanna be with me, who wanna be with me
Who wanna be with me, who wanna be with me
Who wanna be with me, who wanna be with me
Who wanna be with me, girlfriend
But now I want a girlfriend, yeah
I got used to bein′ patient, ooh
I got used to bein′ home alone
I got used to bein' independent, ooh
I got used to bein′ accountable
Now I want, now I want, now I want a girlfriend
Now I want a girlfriend, who wanna be with me
Now I want a girlfriend, who wanna be with me
Wanna be with me
Now I want, now I want
Now I want, now I want
But now I want a girlfriend
Now I want, now I want
Now I want a girlfriend
Sooner or later, we are gonna have to make principled decisions in America about a lot of things
And any number of these decisions are gonna seem contrary to things that we think we want
In other words, we've set up some very materialistic and overtly... uh
What we think solid values?
Yes, the overtly limited concepts of how the world should go
Sooner or later, I think we′re gonna have to decide on that
In other words, I think it's just as conceivable
To create a character today who decides maybe that his whole life is wrong
So that he ought to go do somethin′ else altogether
And really make a completely-, a complete reversal of things that we think are very acceptable
This to me is a certain kind of affirmation
It isn't just rebellion
'Cause rebellion rarely knows what it wants to do when it gets through rebelling
I got used to bein' lonely
I got used to not needin′ nobody, nobody
I got used to puttin' me first
I got used to lovin' myself
But now I want a girlfriend
But now I want a girlfriend
But now I want a girlfriend
But now I want a girlfriend
Who wanna be with me, who wanna be with me
Who wanna be with me, who wanna be with me
Who wanna be with me, who wanna be with me
Who wanna be with me, girlfriend
But now I want a girlfriend, yeah
I got used to bein′ patient, ooh
I got used to bein′ home alone
I got used to bein' independent, ooh
I got used to bein′ accountable
Now I want, now I want, now I want a girlfriend
Now I want a girlfriend, who wanna be with me
Now I want a girlfriend, who wanna be with me
Wanna be with me
Now I want, now I want
Now I want, now I want
But now I want a girlfriend
Now I want, now I want
Now I want a girlfriend
Sooner or later, we are gonna have to make principled decisions in America about a lot of things
