We were half-asleep, we were half-awakened
It's hard to find yourself in 11th grade, so
We go out and we drink too much
Just to have an excuse to touch
And make out, so the jocks could watch
They'd say, "Oh, my God, that's so hot"
I wanted to be girlfriends, but we were just girlfriends, yeah
I wanted to be girlfriends, but we were just girlfriends, yeah
I know you wanted me too, yeah, even back then, I knew
You wanted to be girlfriends, but we were just girlfriends, yeah
There was somethin' different 'bout us
But we didn't show it
Maybe we were scared of ourselves, maybe homophobic
Took my hand, pulled me out to the hall
Pushed me hard up against the wall
And I said, we should go back in
Didn't want anybody to think
I wanted to be girlfriends, but we were just girlfriends, yeah
I wanted to be girlfriends, but we were just girlfriends, yeah
I know you wanted me too, yeah, even back then, I knew
You wanted to be girlfriends, but we were just girlfriends, yeah

I saw your boyfriend one night at the bar
He leaned in real close
Over the noise, I asked how you are
He said that he knows
He knows that we used to kiss
He laughed like it was joke
I guess he don't know
I guess he don't know that
I wanted to be girlfriends, but we were just girlfriends, yeah
I wanted to be girlfriends, but we were just girlfriends, yeah
I know you wanted me too, that's somethin' we couldn't do
You wanted to be girlfriends, but we were just girlfriends, yeah

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) we were just girlfriends, yeah
