[verse 1]
girlfriend
i gotta tell you gotta tell you
what i'm feelin' inside
i can see through all the make up
it's not enough to hide the way
the way you're feelin'
the crazy things you're doin'
to cover up just how much you really feel for him
i can show you a better way of dealin' with love
it starts with you
girlfriend
[chorus]
girlfriend
i'm not goin' watch you cry no more for no man
i'm not goin' stop until i feel you understand
ain't nobody gonna love you better than you can
you gotta love yourself
girlfriend
i'm not goin' watch you cry no more for no man
i'm not goin' stop until i feel you understand
ain't nobody gonna love you better than you can
you gotta love yourself
[verse 2]
what is it that makes you deal
with the things you dealin' with
is it the car, the diamond rings
the thought of seeing another girl
with your man when you're not with him
is it what he do for a living
cause he says no other man can treat you right
oh, if that was the case
then why didn't your man
come home last night
[chorus]
[bridge]
i know it's hard for you
(what must i say)
to understand me
your man ain't treating you right
(what more can i do)
so stop feeling sorry staying up all night
cause you are you everything
girlfriend
[chorus]
you gotta do you girl
no one else could ever ever love you
the way that you love you
from a friend to a friend
