Mary Chapin Carpenter Lyrics
"I Want To Be Your Girlfriend"

I wanna be your girlfriend, I wanna be your new love
I wanna be the one that you can't get enough of
I wanna be your girlfriend, nobody else's but yours
I wanna be the one who you'll do anything for

Never thought I'd ever wind up in a daze like this
Never thought I'd ever find myself wonderin' how you kiss
I see you nearly everyday and everyday I lose my nerve
That I built up the night before, rehearsing every single word

I wanna be your girlfriend, I wanna be your new love
I wanna be the one that you can't get enough of

You used to be just this guy, I knew from that same old scene
For all the time that I've known you, just now I'm noticing
That everything there is to feel, feels worse than any teenage crush
And all the times that I've been near you, I can't get near enough

Oh, I wanna be your girlfriend, nobody else's but yours
I wanna be the one who you'll do anything for

I just keep on hopin' that you're gonna see
If I could notice you then you could notice me
Then I'd be more to you, oh I just wanna be

I wanna be your girlfriend, I wanna be your new love
I wanna be the one that you can't get enough of
I wanna be your girlfriend, nobody else's but yours
I wanna be the one who you'll do anything for
