I Wanna Be Your Girlfriend
Yearning for You: Embracing Love's Imperfections
Lyrics
All my friends are writing their resumes
All my friends are focused on building their resumes.
My responsible friends are applying for jobs
My responsible friends are actively seeking employment.
But me, I was considering ditching Ezra, and going by Esme
I was contemplating changing my identity from Ezra to Esme.
Baby, would you find that so odd?
Asking if you would find that strange or surprising.
My dying friends are finding religion
Some of my friends who are dying are turning to religion.
While my intellectual friends are all denying God
Intellectual friends are rejecting the concept of God.
But me, I got just one ambition
Expressing my singular ambition.
I sit around all day wishing
Spending my time wishing for something.
That the real me might be the one you want
Hoping that the authentic version of myself is the one you desire.
I want to be your girlfriend
Expressing a desire to be your girlfriend.
I want to walk down the street hanging from your arm
Wanting to stroll down the street with you, holding onto your arm.
That's right, little old me
Emphasizing that it's me, a seemingly ordinary person.
I want to be your girlfriend
Reiterating the desire to be your girlfriend.
And leave behind this loveless world I know
Expressing a wish to leave behind a world devoid of love.
Honey, I know that I don't have the body you want in a girlfriend
Acknowledging that my physical appearance may not meet typical standards.
What I am working with is less than ideal
Describing my less-than-ideal physical attributes.
But maybe, baby, it's not all about what you thought that you wanted
Suggesting that what you desire may not be solely based on appearance.
It's about the way I can make you feel
Emphasizing the importance of how I can make you feel.
Ooh
Interjection expressing emotion or emphasis.
I want to be your girlfriend
Reiterating the desire to be your girlfriend.
I want to walk down the street hanging on your arm
Expressing a desire to walk with you in public.
That's right, little old me
Reiterating that it's me, a seemingly ordinary person.
I want to be your girlfriend
Expressing a desire to be your girlfriend and bring joy each night.
And blow your mind each night, when you come home
Committing to blowing your mind each night when you return home.
Ooh, ah
Interjection expressing emotion or emphasis.
Ooh, ah, ooh, ah, ooh, ah
Continuation of the interjection expressing emotion or emphasis.
