Girlfriend

You were sent to tease me

When God's humour went astray

And left Him as the snow fell

On a cold February day

It was meant to be my birthday

But I couldn't celebrate it the same way

You said that you'd release me

And ease my loaded mind

But you never mentioned heartache

And trouble down the line

And spells of never knowing

Strange reasons for not showing up this time

If you were my girlfriend

And I was your lover

Then things would be different

Like you never would believe

If you think that I'm willing

Multiply by twenty

If you can't visualise

Then your mind won't deceive

It's so much down to timing

And who feels just what just when

And what happens in the meantime

During temporary ends

When everything's just crashing

And you offer up your passion to a friend

If you were my girlfriend

And I was your lover

Then things would be different

Like you never would believe

If you think that I'm willing

Multiply by twenty

If you can't visualise

Then your mind won't deceive

Please release me baby

Ease my troubled mind

Please release me baby

Tell me I'm wrong

Tell me I'm wrong

Tell me I'm wrong

Yeah

If you were my girlfriend

And I was your lover

Then things would be different

Like you never would believe

If you think that I'm willing

Multiply by twenty

If you can't visualise

Then your mind won't deceive
