Girlfriend Lyrics
Yeah
[Verse 1]
Tired of this conversation
We didn't come all this way
To touch a little, kiss a little
All night long
You wanna hear me say it
I know I kept you waitin'
Just a little, just a little
All night long
[Pre-Chorus]
Can't stop
'Til you're lyin' right here next to me
I should stop
But I think I'll do it anyway
[Chorus]
Baby, would you ever want to be my girlfriend?
I don't wanna play no games
This is more than just a phase
Baby, would you ever want to be my girlfriend?
If you want it, let me know
We could make this official
Don't we look perfect, baby?
Let's take this further, baby
Just a little, just a little
All night long
If I was your boyfriend, I
I'd be givin' you all my time
Not just a little, just a little
All night long
[Pre-Chorus]
Can't stop
'Til you're lyin' right here next to me
I should stop (Oh)
But I think I'll do it anyway
[Chorus]
Baby, would you ever want to be my girlfriend? (Oh)
I don't wanna play no games (No games)
This is more than just a phase
Baby, would you ever want to be my girlfriend? (Oh)
If you want it, let me know (Me know)
We could make this official (For sure)
[Post-Chorus]
Hold on, you're makin' me (Oh no, baby, no)
Hold on, you're makin' me (Oh no, baby, my)
My girlfriend
Hold on, you're makin' me (Oh no, baby, no)
Hold on, you're makin' me (Oh no, baby, my)
My girlfriend
I can't stop, woah
Know I should stop
But I had to do it anyway, I had to do it anyway
I had to do it anyway, I had to do it anyway
[Chorus]
Baby, would you ever wanna be my girlfriend? (Oh)
I don't wanna play no games (No games)
This is more than just a phase (Yeah)
Baby, would you ever wanna be my girlfriend? (Oh)
If you want it, let me know (Me know)
We could make this official (Oh yeah)
[Post-Chorus]
Hold on, you're makin' me (Oh no, baby, no)
Hold on, you're makin' me (Oh no, baby, my)
If you were my girlfriend (I'm ready to do this thing, yeah)
Hold on, you're makin' me (Oh no, baby, no)
Hold on, you're makin' me (Oh no, baby, my)
My girlfriend (Yeah)
About
“Girlfriend” sees Charlie question a girl as to whether she’d want to be his girlfriend in the future. In the song, Charlie uses many elements from his music style with his soft, falsetto voice.
According to Charlie’s post:
The song is about being persistent and letting someone know that your feelings for them aren’t going to just go away. But rather, they’re always going to be there, and you can’t sleep another night until you have that person by your side every day.
The song was initially confirmed to be released on June 9, 2020. However, due to his focus with the #BlackLivesMatter movement, the song was delayed until June 25, 2020, with a teaser being shared four days prior to the release date. On June 22, 2020, the song accidentally leaked in full on Twitter from a now-deleted account. Charlie officially dropped the song on June 25, 2020 at 10AM PT.

Girlfriend is one of my favorite songs I’ve ever made.

I made this song when I was on tour. In planes and busses. I recorded the bridge vocals 10 min before I went on stage one time. I recorded the whole thing with an SM7 microphone. Wrote the words with Kash driving around Studio City…
