If I was your girlfriend, would you remember

To tell me all the things you forgot when I was your man?

Hey hey, when I was your man
If I was your best friend, would you let me

Take care of you and do all the things that only a best friend can?

Oh, only best friends can
If I was your girlfriend, would you let me dress you

I mean, help you pick out your clothes before we go out?

Not that you're helpless

But sometime, sometime those are the things that bein' in love's about
If I was your one and only friend

Would you run to me if somebody hurt you even if that somebody was me, yeah

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be, please
If I was your girlfriend

Would you let me wash your hair?

Could I make you breakfast sometime?

Well then, could we just hang out

I mean, could we go to a movie and cry together?

'Cause to me baby, that would be so fine
Baby, can I dress you

I mean, help you pick out your clothes before we go out?
Listen girl, I ain't sayin you're helpless

But sometime, sometime those are the things that bein' in love's about
Sugar, do you know what I'm saying to you this evening?
Maybe you think I'm being a little self-centered

But I, I said I want to be all of the things you are to me

Surely, surely you can see
Is it really necessary for me to go out of the room

Just because you want to undress?

We don't have to make children to make love
And we don't have to make love to have an orgasm

Your body's what I'm all about

Can I see it?

I'll show you

Why not? You can do it because I'm your friend

I'd do it for you

Of course I'd undress in front of you

And when I'm naked, what shall I do?
How can I make you see that it's cool?

Can't you just trust me?

If I was your girlfriend, you could

Oh yeah, I think so
Listen, for you naked I would dance a ballet

Would that get you off?

Tell me what will

If I was your girlfriend, would you tell me?
Would you let me see you naked then?

Would you let me give you a bath?

Would you let me tickle you so hard you'd laugh and laugh
And would you, would you let me kiss you there

You know, down there where it counts

I'll do it so good, I swear I'll drink every ounce

And then I'll hold you tight and hold you long

And together we'll stare into silence
And we'll try to imagine what it looks like

Yeah, we'll try to imagine what, what silence looks like

Yeah, we'll, we'll try to imagine what silence looks like

Yeah, we'll try
