[Intro]
Whisper, whisper, whisper, whisper...

[Verse 1]
Whisper round the town 'cause you're my friend and that's the end
For you're the only one in town who they would beg to hang around with
You're so beautiful and calm, but with an attitude that says
"Hands off, you're just not good enough"

[Pre-Chorus]
Every boy and man feeling lonely
Can't understand why you'd be with me
Furthermore we laugh and we draw
More attention every day so they say

[Chorus]
"Bet she's not your girlfriend
Oh no, you couldn't make her happy
Bet she's not your girlfriend
Oh no, you couldn't make her happy"

[Verse 2]
Well that's as maybe in a way, but it's okay
We laugh, touché, while they stare in front of us
They draw away as if to say
"Who are these people anyway? How dare they confront us?"

[Pre-Chorus]
Every boy and man feeling lonely
Can't understand why you'd be with me
Furthermore we laugh and we draw
More attention every day so they say

[Chorus]
"Bet she's not your girlfriend
Oh no, you couldn't make her happy
Bet she's not your girlfriend
Oh no, you couldn't make her happy"

[Interlude]

[Bridge]
Oh no, no, no
Oh no, no, no
(Girlfriend)
(Oh, oh, oh, girlfriend)
(Oh, oh, oh, girlfriend)
(Oh, oh, oh girlfriend)

[Verse 3]
I'd rather die than satisfy their curiosity
I'm kind of shy and dry and verging on ugly
They wonder what that I have got that they have not
They'll never understand that none of that matters

[Pre-Chorus]
Every boy and man feeling lonely
Can't understand why you'd be with me
Furthermore, we laugh and we draw
More attention every day so they say

[Chorus]
"Bet she's not your girlfriend
(Girlfriend)
Oh, no, you couldn't make her happy
(Oh, oh, oh, girlfriend)
Bet she's not your girlfriend
(Oh, oh, oh, girlfriend)
Oh no, you couldn't make her happy"
(Oh, oh, oh, girlfriend)

[Outro]
(Oh, oh, oh, girlfriend)
(Oh, oh, oh, girlfriend)
"Bet she's not your, bet she's not your
Bet she's not your, bet she's not your
Bet she's not your girlfriend
(Oh, oh, oh, girlfriend)
Oh no
(Oh, oh, oh, girlfriend)
Bet she's not your girlfriend
(Oh, oh, oh, girlfriend)
You couldn't make her happy
(Oh, oh, oh, girlfriend)
Bet she's not your girlfriend
(Oh, oh, oh, girlfriend)
You couldn't make her happy
Bet she's not your girlfriend"
