Would you be my girlfriend
{Uh, eh-eh}
{Uh, would you be my girl}
{Would you be my}
Would you be my girlfriend
{Uh, eh}
{Uh, would you be my}
Would you be my girlfriend
{Check it, check it}


He don’t want you like I wan to you
Believe me, Boo, I done told you
He don’t appreciate you, ma
I could tell by the way he move
He don’t love you like I could love you
And squeeze you like I squeeze
I’ll make your neck pop back
And in fact I’ll bubble your knees {Please}
Okay, baby, what’s it gon’ take for you to be my lady
(Tell me right now)
I hear your friends saying you should
Your parents tell you it’s good
My little sister keep yellin’, "Nelly, I wish you
would"
But you’re hestitatin’, debatin’ whether or not it’s
real
I ain’t shootin’ game, Boo, I’m just tellin’ you how I
feel
I’m diggin’ everything about you, your hips and the
way they sway
I hate to see you leave, Boo, but love to see you all
the way
I’ll be your personal shrink, Boo, I care what you
think
I bought the Bentley in pink ‘cause my dough in sync
So tell your man (Bye-Bye) and tell him you’re long
(Gone)
Ain’t no need in waitin’ up, you done found you
another home
Woo


I don’t know why you care {Why you think about him
know}
He doesn’t even know you’re there, no
‘Cause he don’t love your eyes {Naw}
And he don’t love your smile {Naw}
Girl, you know that ain’t fair {Come on}


The middle of the night (Mmm...)
Is he gonna be by your side (Mmm...no)
Or will he run and hide
You don’t know ‘cause things ain’t clear


And baby, when you cry
Is he gonna stand by your side
Does the man even know you’re alive
I got an idea


Why don’t you be my girlfriend
I’ll treat you good {I’ll treat you good, girl}
I know you hear your friends
When they say you should


‘Cause if you were my girlfriend
I’d be your shining star
The one to show you where you are
Girl, you should be my girlfriend


Does he know what you feel {He know what you feel}
Are you sure that it’s real {Are you sure},
yeah...hea...hea...yeah...
Does he ease your mind {Naw}
Or does he break your stride {Come on}
Did you know that love could be a shield, yeah


The middle of the night (Oh...)
Is he gonna be by your side (No, no) {No}
Or will he run and hide
You don’t know ‘cause things ain’t clear


And baby when you cry (Oh...)
Is he gonna stand by your side (No, no)
Does the man even know you’re alive
I got an idea


Why don’t you be my girlfriend (Yeah, yeah)
I’ll treat you good {I’ll treat you good, girl}
I know you hear your friends
When they say you should (Baby)


‘Cause if you were my girlfriend {Uh-uh-uh}
I’d be your shining star {I’ll be that one to shine
for you, girl}
The one to show you where you are {I-I-I-I-I-I}
Girl, you should be my girlfriend


I need a fiancée cute as Beyoncé
Ghetto like Da Brat, ready to strap when I say
Talents of Alicia, Miss Keys
I’ll take the hips off Trina, the lips off Eve
I’ll sit you so high on a pedestal it might make your
nose bleed
Sew medals around ankles and watch your toes freeze
What’s wrong, ma, your man ain’t bringin’ you toys
Don’t trip, flip your script to a county boy, now come
on


Ever since I saw your face
Nothin’ in my life has been the same
I walk around just sayin’ your name
Without you my world would end, yeah
I searched around this whole damn place
And everything says you were meant to be
My girlfriend, oh


Why don’t you be my girlfriend (Yeah...hea...)
I’ll treat you good {Uh}
I know you hear your friends
When they say you should


‘Cause if you were my girlfriend (My girlfriend)
I’d be your shining star (Be your shining star, yeah)
The one to show you where you are
Girl, you should be my girlfriend


Huh...uh...uh...uh...huh... {Uh-uh-uh} (You make my
heart sing)
Huh...uh...uh...uh...huh... (You make my heart sing)
Huh...uh...uh...uh...huh... {Uh-uh-uh-uh} (You make my
heart sing)
Huh...uh...uh...uh...huh...


You should be my girlfriend
{Would be my}
You should be my girlfriend
{Would be my girl}
You should be my girlfriend
{Would be my girl}
Girl, you should be my girlfriend
