Girlfriend, I'm gonna tell your boyfriend, yeah
Tell him exactly what you're going, yeah
Tell him what you do to me
Late at night when the wind is free
Girlfriend
Girlfriend, I'm gonna show your boyfriend, yeah
Show him the letters I've been saving, yeah
Show him how you feel inside
Then our love couldn't be denied, oh no
And we're gonna have to tell him
You'll only be a girlfriend of mine
Til the rivers stops a-flowin'
Til the wind doesn't wanna blow
Til the flowers stop a-growin'
Til my love doesn't want to know
We're gonna have to tell him
You'll only be a girlfriend of mine
Girlfriend, we'd better tell your boyfriend, yeah
Tell him exactly what we're doing, yeah
And tell him what he needs to know
Or he may never let you go, oh no
Yes, we're gonna have to tell him
You'll only be a girlfriend of mine
Til the rivers stop a-flowin'
Til the wind doesn't wanna blow
Til the flowers stop a-growin'
Til the ocean's a sea of snow
(Sea of snow, sea of snow, sea of snow...)
