Lyric of the Week

Lyric of the Week: Girlfriend (Matthew Sweet)

Lyric of the WeekSometimes a simple lyric is all you need.

All you need is love.

De, do, do, do.
De, da, da, da.

‘Scuse me while I kiss this guy.

This week’s lyric is to a song that I simply can’t not sing along to in the car.

Enjoy Girlfriend by Matthew Sweet (from 1991’s Girlfriend).

I wanna love somebody
I hear you need somebody to love
I wanna love somebody
I hear you’re looking for someone to love

‘Cause you need to
Get back in the arms of a good friend
And I need to
Get back in the arms of a girlfriend

I didn’t know nobody
And then I saw you coming my way
I didn’t know nobody
And then I saw you coming my way

Don’t you need to
Get back in the arms of a good friend?
‘Cause, honey, believe me
I’d sure love to call you my girlfriend

‘Cause you got a good thing going, baby
You only need somebody to love
Oh, you’ve got a good thing going
You’re only looking for someone to love

‘Cause you need to
Get back in the arms of a good friend

And I’m never gonna set you free
No, I’m never gonna set you free
