Lyrics If I Was Your Girlfriend (Edit - 2020 Remaster) - Prince

Ooh, oh
Ooh, hoo, oh yeah
Ooh, hoo

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
Ooh

If I was your girlfriend
Ooh, hoo, ho ooh
If I was your girlfriend

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

And 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
Ooh
Ooo, hoo
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, ooh

(If I was your girlfriend)

Baby, can I dress you
I mean, help you pick out your clothes before we go out? (If I was your girlfriend)
Listen girl, I ain't sayin' you're helpless
But sometime
Sometime those are the things that bein' in love's about

Sugar
Sugar, do you know what I'm saying to you this evening?
Maybe you think I'm being a little self-centered
But I said 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
