(Would you be my girlfriend?)

He don’t want you like I want you, believe me boo I done told you
He don’t appreciate you ma, I can tell by the way he hold you
He don’t love you like I can love you, or squeeze you like I squeeze
I’ll make your neck pop back and in fact I’ll buckle your knees, please (hey)
Okay, baby what’s it gon’ take for you to be my lady (tell me right now)
I hear your friends tell you should, your parents tell you its good
Your lil’ sister keep yelling, “Nelly, I wish you would”
But you’re hesitating, debating whether or not it’s real
I ain’t shooting game, boo, I’m just telling you how I feel
I’m digging everything about you, your hips and the way they sway
I hate to see you leave boo, but love to see ya walk away
I’ll be your personal shrink, boo, I care what you think
I bought the Bentley in pink ’cause my dough ‘N Sync
So tell ya man (bye bye) and tell him you’re long (gone)
Ain’t no needing waiting up, you done found you another (home)(woo)
I don’t know why you care (Why you thinkin’ about it mama?)
He doesn’t even know you’re there, oh no
‘Cause he don’t love your eyes
And he don’t love your smile
Girl you know that ain’t fair
In the middle of the night
Is he gonna be by your side?
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? (does he know what you feel?)
Are you sure that it’s real? Yeah yeah yeah (are you sure?)
Does he ease your mind? (nah)
Or does he break your stride? (c’mon)
Did you know that love could be a shield, yeah
In the middle of the night
Is he gonna be by your side?
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
Baby ’cause if you were my girlfriend (uh uh uh)
I’d be your shining star (I’d be that one to shine for you girl)
The one to show you where you are
Girl you should be my girlfriend
Need a fiancé, cute as Beyonce
Ghetto like Da Brat, ready to scrap when I say
The talents of Alicia, my fault, Ms.Keys
I take the hips off Trina, and lips off Eve
I put ya so high on a pedestal, it might make ya nose bleed
So much ice around ya ankles, and watch ya toes freeze
Whats wrong, ma? Ya man ain’t bringing ya joy?
Don’t trip, flip ya scrip to a country boy
Now c’mon
Ever since I saw your face
Nothing in my life has been the same
I walk around just saying your name
Without you my world would end, yeah
I’ve searched around this whole damn place
And everything says you were meant to be
My girlfriend, oh
Why don’t you be my girlfriend?
I’ll treat you good
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
Ahh (uh uh uh uh) (you make my heart sing)
Ahh (you make my heart sing)
Ahh (uh uh uh uh) (baby, baby, yeah) (you make my heart sing)
Ahh (girl you should be my girlfriend) (would you be my)
Girl you should be my girlfriend (would you be my girl)
Girl you should be my girlfriend (would you be my)
Girl you should be my girlfriend
