About Girlfriend

"Girlfriend" is a single released by Billie in 1998, from her debut album Honey to the B. It reached number one in the United Kingdom, making her the youngest and first female solo singer to reach the top spot with her first two singles. A radio edit with additional production by Cutfather & Joe was released for the single which differs significantly from the album version. The Australian single has become one of Billie's rarest CD singles. The cover for the Australian single differs slightly, as on the UK cover it says "Includes Tin Tin Out Mix & Exclusive Track" while on the Australian cover it says "Includes Because We Want To". "Girlfriend / She Wants You" was the second single released from the Japanese edition, released almost a whole year after the previous single, "Because We Want To" was released. On the American track listing for Honey to the B, the radio mix replaces the original album version. The B-side "Love Groove" is also featured on Billie's debut album, Honey to the B.

I saw you jump up 
You and your friends, baby 
And I heard you say they're playing a jam 
(there's a jam right here baby) 
so waving your hand 
from side to side, sugar 
hear you're claiming you're a certified man 
(certified) 

I know it might sound strange 
But I pictured us alone 
And you're kissing me in ways I can't tell - no 
If my thoughts of you are true 
Then I want to get with you 
So I'll step in while I'm given the chance yeah 

Do you have a girlfriend? Do you have a girlfriend? 
You're looking real cool You're looking real cool 
Can I have you're number? Can I have you're number? 
You don't have a thing to lose. 
Do you have a minute? Do you have a minute? 
What is on your mind? What is on your mind? 
I was just thinking I was just thinking 
We can spend some time 

Heard a slow song 
You don't waste time baby 
And you asked me if I wanted to dance? 
(sure I want to dance) 
playing hard to get 
takes to long, sugar 
so I told my friends that I found a man 
(you're the one) 

I know it might sound strange 
But I pictured us alone 
And you're kissing me in ways I can't tell - no 
If my thoughts of you are true 
Then I want to get with you 
So I'll step in while I'm given the chance 

Do you have a girlfriend? Do you have a girlfriend? 
You're looking real cool You're looking real cool 
Can I have you're number? Can I have you're number? 
You don't have a thing to lose. 
Do you have a minute? Do you have a minute? 
What is on your mind? What is on your mind? 
I was just thinking I was just thinking 
We can spend some time 

do ya do ya do ya have a girlfriend? 
you're looking real cool 
do ya do ya do ya have a minute? 
I was just thinking 
do you do you do you have a girlfriend? 
We could spend some time 
do you do you do you have a minute? 
Are you all alone? A-ha A-ha 

I know it might sound strange 
But I pictured us alone 
And you're kissing me in ways I can't tell - no 
If my thoughts of you are true 
Then I want to get with you 
So I'll step in while I'm given the chance 

Do you have a girlfriend? Do you have a girlfriend? 
You're looking real cool You're looking real cool 
Can I have you're number? Can I have you're number? 
You don't have a thing to lose. 
Do you have a minute? Do you have a minute? 
What is on your mind? What is on your mind? 
I was just thinking I was just thinking 
We can spend some time 

Do you have a girlfriend? Do you have a girlfriend? 
You're looking real cool You're looking real cool 

Can I have you're number? Can I have you're number? 
You don't have a thing to lose 
Do you have a minute? Do you have a minute? 
What is on your mind? What is on your mind? 
I was just thinking I was just thinking
