You guys always think a song is either about being gay or about drugs. There's more to life, ya know? I think y'all have been brainwashed by Mom, Dad and the Mass Media.
That said, this song isn't particularly deep or anything. Still a good song, tho.
'Girlfriend' is one of the greatest power pop songs of all time. It's the title track of the f'n brilliant 1991 Matthew Sweet album. The real beauty/passion of the song is in the guitars so, if you wanna relate, you should hear it -- not just read the lyrics.
I want to love somebody
I hear you need somebody to love
I want to love somebody
I hear you're looking for someone to love
'Cause you need to
Be back in the arms of a good friend
And I need to
Be 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
Be back in the arms of a good friend
Oh 'cause honey believe me
I'd sure love to call you my girlfriend
snip
And I'm never gonna set you free
No, I'm never gonna set you free
