About Girlfriend

"Girlfriend" is a song by British rock band The Darkness, released as the third and final single from their second studio album, One Way Ticket to Hell... And Back. Released on 22 May 2006, it was the band's last single before their five-year disbandment later that year. The song is written from the perspective of a man who has cheated on his girlfriend with another woman. He tells his now angry girlfriend in the first verse that the other girl meant nothing to him. In the second verse he admits that the relationship is over and his once girlfriend is now his ex. The music video for the song is inspired by the film Flashdance. The song was a disappointment, only charting at #39 on the UK Singles Chart. This was the band's lowest charting single since 2003 single "Get Your Hands off My Woman".

Girl I know I've got a funny way of showing it
Yes, I thought our love was here to stay and blowing it
Was never on my agenda
She meant nothing to me, I meant nothing to her
Now I realize it's over, I just got to tell you

Girlfriend I love you, I love you, I love you so much
I love you, I love you, I love you, so much
I love you, I love you, I love you, so much so much

Girl, I know I ripped your heart right out so why pretend
That there is even a shadow of doubt that it's the end
Why the hell are we breaking our necks
When there's hardly any sex sex!
To simplify something that's extremely complex
You were my girlfriend, now you're my ex

(xylophone?)

Girlfriend I love you, I love you, I love you so much
I love you, I love you, I love you, so much
I love you, I love you, I love you, so much so much
Listen to my synthesizer!

Girlfriend I love you, I love you, I love you so much
I love you, I love you, I love you, so much
I love you, I love you, I love you, so much so much

Girlfriend I love you, I love you, I love you, so much
I love you, I love you, I love you, so much
I love you, I love you, I love you, so much so much
