[VERSE 1]

GIRLFRIEND

I GOTTA TELL YOU GOTTA TELL YOU

WHAT I'M FEELIN' INSIDE

I CAN SEE THROUGH ALL THE MAKE UP

IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO HIDE THE WAY

THE WAY YOU'RE FEELIN'

THE CRAZY THINGS YOU'RE DOIN'

TO COVER UP JUST HOW MUCH YOU REALLY FEEL FOR HIM

I CAN SHOW YOU A BETTER WAY OF DEALIN' WITH LOVE

IT STARTS WITH YOU

GIRLFRIEND



[CHORUS]

GIRLFRIEND

I'M NOT GOIN' WATCH YOU CRY NO MORE FOR NO MAN

I'M NOT GOIN' STOP UNTIL I FEEL YOU UNDERSTAND

AIN'T NOBODY GONNA LOVE YOU BETTER THAN YOU CAN

YOU GOTTA LOVE YOURSELF

GIRLFRIEND

I'M NOT GOIN' WATCH YOU CRY NO MORE FOR NO MAN

I'M NOT GOIN' STOP UNTIL I FEEL YOU UNDERSTAND

AIN'T NOBODY GONNA LOVE YOU BETTER THAN YOU CAN

YOU GOTTA LOVE YOURSELF



[VERSE 2]

WHAT IS IT THAT MAKES YOU DEAL

WITH THE THINGS YOU DEALIN' WITH

IS IT THE CAR, THE DIAMOND RINGS

THE THOUGHT OF SEEING ANOTHER GIRL

WITH YOUR MAN WHEN YOU'RE NOT WITH HIM

IS IT WHAT HE DO FOR A LIVING

CAUSE HE SAYS NO OTHER MAN CAN TREAT YOU RIGHT

OH, IF THAT WAS THE CASE

THEN WHY DIDN'T YOUR MAN

COME HOME LAST NIGHT



[CHORUS]



[BRIDGE]

I KNOW IT'S HARD FOR YOU

(WHAT MUST I SAY)

TO UNDERSTAND ME

YOUR MAN AIN'T TREATING YOU RIGHT

(WHAT MORE CAN I DO)

SO STOP FEELING SORRY STAYING UP ALL NIGHT

CAUSE YOU ARE YOU EVERYTHING

GIRLFRIEND



[CHORUS]



YOU GOTTA DO YOU GIRL

NO ONE ELSE COULD EVER EVER LOVE YOU

THE WAY THAT YOU LOVE YOU

FROM A FRIEND TO A FRIEND
