Yeah
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
Can’t stop
‘Til you’re lyin’ right here next to me
I should stop
But I think I’ll do it anyway
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
Can’t stop
‘Til you’re lyin’ right here next to me
I should stop (Oh)
But I think I’ll do it anyway
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)
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
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)

My girlfriend (Yeah)
Exploring the Desire for Closer Connection
“Girlfriend” by Charlie Puth is a playful and earnest pop track that delves into the anticipation and vulnerability of taking a relationship to the next level. The lyrics reveal a protagonist who is ready to move beyond casual affection, expressing a longing to make things official. Puth balances flirtation and sincerity, asking his romantic interest if she’s ready to be more than just friends. The repeated refrain, “Would you ever want to be my girlfriend?” captures both the uncertainty and hopefulness of confessing one’s feelings, while the upbeat, catchy melody underscores the song’s lighthearted optimism.
