Girlfriend

Don't tell me to stop crying

Please just hold me while I do

Soothe me with your silence

And just cradle me to you

Don't push me for my reasons

Or expect me to explain

How can I in five minutes shift

A lifetime's hidden pain

Don't tell your girlfriend about me

'cause your girlfriend won't like girls like me

Don't tell your girlfriend about me

If you just hold me...hold me...hold me

I went to see a psychic and

I paid for good advice

He said "Forget a romance

'Til you've sorted out your life."

Be your own mother and your father

And your sister and brother

And even try to crack the art

Of being your own lover...

Don't tell your girlfriend about me

'cause your girlfriend won't like girls like me

Don't tell your girlfriend about me

If you just hold me...hold me...hold me

In my darkest hour you'd be mine

These wildest dreams

Are no crime or are they, Girlfriend?

Coming from a place of need

Not one of abundance

You see he told me, Girlfriend

Don't tell me to stop crying

Please just hold me while I do

Soothe me with your silence

And just cradle me to you

Don't push me for my reasons

Or expect me to explain

How come I say I'm happy

To be on my own again?

don't tell your girlfriend about me

'cause your girlfriend won't like girls like me

don't tell your girlfriend about me

'cause your girlfriend won't like girls like me

You don't have to tell your girlfriend about me

If you just hold me...hold me...hold me
