Girlfriend in the City Lyrics

I've been watchin' you like a hawk
I know you're hidin' somethin'
When we're together
I can hardly breathe
I feel like it's gonna spill out of me
What I believe

I would rather wait
'Til it looks so bad
That you can't no longer hide it from me
I would rather wait
For the chance to get you in hide me

[Chorus]
You've got a girlfriend in this city
You've got a girlfriend in this city
Oh, is your girlfriend pretty?
Does she look like me?

Does she blow your mind all the time
Or are you just passing time

You've got a girlfriend in this city
And it's not me.

I stay at home on the other side of town
Waiting, alone, would you bring me flowers
You are far away
And when I don't know won't hurt me
But it do
And worse it's killing you all the guilt inside
I can see yeah, it's true

[Chorus]

And I'm dying to know what she's like
Although I know it won't make this right

You've got a girlfriend in this city
And it's not me

Does she wear her hair up
Or her hair down
Is she quiet
Or is she loud
Does she dress up
Or she dress down
Why do you keep her around

Push it to you yeah
Push it to you yeah
Push it to you you yeah
Push it to you yeah
Push it to you

[Chorus]

Does she blow your mind all the time
Or are you just passing time

You've got a girlfriend in this city
And it's not me

Girlfriend
Girlfriend
Girlfriend in this city
Girlfriend in this city

I know about a girlfriend
I know about a girlfriend in this city

I know about her in this city
In this city
I know about her, I know about her
I know about her, I know about her
I know about her, I know about her
I know about her, I know about her
Girlfriend, girlfriend
Girlfriend, girlfriend

Cover art for Girlfriend in the City lyrics by Nelly Furtado

The song is about a woman who notes her boyfriend is acting oddly and she suspects he's got another girlfriend. However, she doesn't want to reveal her suspictions, but she'd rather wait until he can't take the guilt and confess it. The singer wants to know about this alleged lover, if her boyfriend loves this girlfriend or he only sees this relationship only as sex or stuff like that.
