Songs About Your Girlfriend Lyrics

	


You did not like us 'cause your girlfriend likely does
And all your friends agree on her soft spot for me
I'll have my hot hands over her soft spots soon you will see

But if you want a list of all her favourite bits
Then next time I am free, quite comprehensively
Then I will scrawl them all down for you as an apology

Tell her the times we shared, what's broke has been repaired
cinders of our old jokes have once again been stoked
But with a different girl, funnier now they've been rehearsed

Oh I hung on your every word
Til we were interrupted by the birds
Singing 'Oh your mask is slipping, Oh your mask is slipping'

Songs I've written about your girlfriend
Are just songs out of spite since you came too early

'Cause I've never made her smile like that
And she never made me smile right back
Although I always made her purr like a cat
And I never made her smile like that

She stubbed her home club's crest on me with cigarettes
A swift to match the bird upon her football shirt
She would lift the hem, She would wear that thing like a skirt

The last time I was there she let me wear her clothes
She painted my lips red so that we both ensured
I kissed her every inch, my god the girl looked like she'd burned

Oh I hung on your every word
Til we were interrupted by the birds
Singing 'Oh your mask is slipping, 
Oh your mask is slipping'

Songs I've written about your girlfriend
Are just songs out of spite since you came too early

Songs I've written about your girlfriend
Are just when my heart is on

'Cause I've never made her smile like that
And she never made me smile right back
Although I always made her purr like a cat
And I never made her smile like that

I'm quite sure it's "she would lift the hem".

I love the attitude in this song. On one hand he's breaking up a relationship, being the other guy, but on the other hand he's heart broken & bitter because it's over and they never connected beyond physically. He's apologizing to the guy while rubbing it in. It's consoling ("I never made her smile like that") and then twisting the knife right after ("I always made her purr like a cat")

How often do you get songs with such awesome arrogant/bitter/evil/sympathetic attitude? So far beyond "I love her" or "I miss her"
