Lyrics - If I Was Your Girlfriend by Prince

Look at the bargains over here, ladies...
If
I was your girlfriend
Would u remember 2 tell me all the things u forgot
When
I was your man?
Hey, when
I was your man
If
I was your best friend
Would u let me take care of u and do all the things
That only a best friend can
Only best friends can
If
I was your girlfriend
If
I was your girlfriend
If
I was your girlfriend
Would u let me dress u
I mean, help u pick out your clothes
Before we go out
Not that you’re helpless
But sometimes, sometimes
Those are the things that bein’ in love’s about
If
I was your one and only friend
Would u run 2 me if somebody hurt u
Even if that somebody was me?
Sometimes
I trip on how happy we could be
Please
If
I was your girlfriend
If
I was your girlfriend
Would u let me wash your hair
Could
I make u breakfast sometime
Or then, could we just hang out,
I mean
Could we go 2 a movie and cry together
Cuz 2 me baby that would be so fine
If
I was your girlfriend
Baby can
I dress u
I mean, help u pick out your clothes
Before we go out(if
I was your girlfriend)
Listen girl,
I ain’t sayin you’re helpless
But sometimes, sometimes
Those are the things that bein’ in love’s about (sugar)
Sugar do u know what
I’m saying 2 u this evening? (sugar)
Maybe u think
I’m being
A little self-centered (if
I was your girlfriend)
But i,
I said
I want 2 be (sugar)
All of the things u are 2 me (sugar)
Surely, surely u can see (if
I was your girlfriend){{title repeated in background}}
Is it really necessary 4 me 2 go out of the room
Just because u wanna undress?
I mean, we don’t have 2 make children 2 make love
And then, we don’t have 2 make love 2 have an orgasm
Your body’s what
I’m all about
Can
I see u?
I’ll show u
Why not?
U can think it’s because
I’m your friend
I’ll do it 4 u
Of course
I’ll undress in front of u!
And when
I’m naked, what shall
I do?
How can
I make u see that it’s cool?
Can’t u just trust me?
If
I was your girlfriend u could
Oh, yeah,
I think so
Listen, 4 u naked
I would dance a ballet
Would that get u off?
Then tell me what will!
If
I was your girlfriend, would u tell me?
Would u let me see u naked then?
Would u let me give u a bath?
Would u let me tickle u so hard u’d laugh and laugh
And would u, would u let me kiss u 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 u tight and hold u long
And together we’ll stare into silence
And we’ll try 2 imagine what it looks like
Yeah, we’ll try 2 imagine what, what silence looks like
Yeah, we’ll try 2 imagine what silence looks like
Yeah, we’ll try...
