Cover art for Girlfriend Is Better (Stop Making Sense version) lyrics by Talking Heads

This song is about the interpersonal struggle of a man during a night of dancing and sexual intercourse with a woman of which he is not dating. The "girlfriend" refers to the woman he is dating. He goes through a multitude of thought processes questioning whether his real relationship will exist post experience and trying to convince himself that "this" is a good idea. Kinda like a my mind is telling me no but my body is telling me yes thing. Cheat on your girlfriend at a concert and then listen to this song. It starts making sense, starts making sense... Trust me.
