Girlfriend
Ne-Yo · Other Songs - Ne-Yo
She's a goddess ghetto queen
Sitting at the park eating sunflower seeds
And I don't know if I'm being cocky
But I swear I think that she was staring at me
(bridge)
I stepped to her like
Hey sugar mama you outta line
Being how ya lookin so fine
Just wanna know how i could a dude buy
Some of your time
She said sorry your, your not my type
[Chorus:]
(She blew my mind) She blew my mind when she replied
(When she replied) I gotta girlfriend
(Girl that's alright) I'm not hatin
Just tryin to cool wit u cool wit u
(verse 2)
So that's your lifestyle ain't nuthin wrong
To be honest girl it kinda turns me on
I ain't even tryna to gash up a happy crib
But you can call me when you need that alternative
Or someone to hold a camera with a, a steady hand
Don't you even trip
Girl I'm your man
Or if you decide to give the male race a second chance
She said sorry but I'm taken
[Chorus:(2X)]
(She blew my mind) She blew my mind when she replied
(When she replied) I gotta girlfriend
(Girl it's alright) I'm not hatin
Just trying to cool wit u cool wit u
(outro)
Girl girl girl girl girl
What's crackin with menage-a-trois?
Girl girl girl girl girl
Is it even cool if I can just watch?
Girl girl girl girl girl
Baby I just wanna cool wit u
