If I Was Your Girlfirend Songtext
von Prince

Look at the bargains over here, ladies

If I was your girlfriend, would you remember
To hold me, you forgot when I was your man
When I was your man
If I was your best friend, would you let me
Take care of you 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 you let me dress you
I mean, help you 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 you run to me if somebody hurt you 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 you let me wash your hair?
Could I make you breakfast sometime?
Well then, could we just hang out
I mean, could we go to a movie and cry together?
'Cause to me baby, that would be so fine (That would be so fine)

(If I was your girlfriend)
Baby, can I dress you
I mean, help you 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
(Shoo-do-do)
Sugar, do you know what I'm saying to you this evening?
Maybe you think I'm being a little self-centered
But I, I said I wanna be all of the things you are to me (If I was your girlfriend)
Surely, surely you can see

Is it really necessary for me to go out of the room
Just because you want to undress? (If I was your girlfriend)
We don't have to make children to make love

And we don't have to make love to have an orgasm (If I was your girlfriend)
Your body's what I'm all about
Can I see it? (If I was your girlfriend)
I'll show you
Why not? (If I was your girlfriend)


You can do it because I'm your friend
I'd do it for you
Of course I'd undress in front of you (If I was your girlfriend)
And when I'm naked what shall I do?

How can I make you see that it's cool? (If I was your girlfriend)
Can't you just trust me?
If I was your girlfriend, you could (If I was your girlfriend)
Oh yeah, I think so

Listen, for you naked I would dance a ballet (If I was your girlfriend)
Would that get you off?
Tell me what will
If I was your girlfriend, would you tell me? (If I was your girlfriend)

Would you let me see you naked then?
Would you let me give you a bath?
Would you let me tickle you so hard you'd laugh and laugh (If I was your girlfriend)

And would you, would you let me kiss you there
You know, down there where it counts
I'll do it so good, I swear I'll drink every ounce
And then I'll hold you tight and you long
And together we'll stand in silence

And we'll try to imagine what it looks lke
Yeah, we'll try to imagine what, what silence looks like
Yeah, we'll, we'll try to imagine what silence looks like
Yeah, we'll try
