[Intro]
Ooh-ooh
Girlfriend

[Verse 1]
Girl, make a list
Go out and find yourself a new bad thing
Girl, you need a trip
'Cause he’s not worth the misery and pain
Just remember how he would tell you lies
And then pretend that everything is so sweet
Why should you sacrifice if you're not satisfied?
He's just a canine runnin’ 'round in heat

[Chorus]
Girlfriend
How could you let him treat you so bad? Oh
Girlfriend
You know you were the best he ever had, oh, oh, oh-woah
Girlfriend
How could you let him treat you so bad? (Treat ya, treat ya, treat ya) Oh
Girlfriеnd
You know you were the bеst he ever had, oh, oh, oh-woah
Girl, girl— girl— girl— girl— oh-woah

[Verse 2]
Girl, you must resist
Don't let him squirm his way into your heart
No, girl, I must insist
You've got to stop the fool before he starts
Just remember how he was so untrue
With all the tacky things he did to you
No need to signify, 'cause he's not worth your time
You need to find someone that's true to you
[Chorus]
Girlfriend
How could you let him treat you so bad? Oh
Girlfriend
You know you were the best he ever had, oh, oh, oh-woah
Girlfriend
How could you let him treat you so bad? (Treat ya, treat ya), baby, don't be sad (Oh), no
Girlfriend
You know you were the best he ever had, oh, oh, oh-woah

[Bridge]
To believe or not to believe
That is the question, it just takes a street degree
You’ve lied your last lie and I’ve cried my last cry
I'm out the door, baby, there’s other fish in the sea (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Cute, cute, cute, cute, cute, cute
Hey, Deele, sing!
To believe or not to believe
That is the question, it just takes a street degree
You've lied, I've cried
I'm out the door, baby, there’s other fish in the sea

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Girlfriend (Girl— Girl— Girl—)
How could you let him treat you so bad? Oh
Girlfriend
You know you were the best he ever had (Girlfriend, girlfriend, girlfriend, girlfriend, girlfriend)
Girlfriend
How could you let him treat you so bad? (Treat ya, treat ya) Baby, don't be sad (Oh), no
Girlfriend
You know you were the best he ever had
Oh, oh, oh-woah
[Outro]
Don't let him put you down (Girlfriend)
Girl, he's been messing around (How could you let him treat you so bad?)
You've been used, abused
So, baby, make your move (Oh)
You've learned your lesson now (Girlfriend)
So turn this hurt around (You know you were the best he ever had)
Don't be no fool, 'cause you've got to bust loose (Oh, oh, oh-woah)
Girlfriend, yeah
How could you let him treat you so bad? Oh
Girlfriend
You know you were the best he ever had (You know you were the best he ever had, girl), oh, oh, oh-woah
Don't let him put you down (Girlfriend)
Girl, he's been messing around (How could you let him treat you so bad?)
You've been used, abused
So, baby, make your move (Oh)
You've learned your lesson now (Girlfriend)
So turn this hurt around (You know you were the best he ever had)
Don't be no fool, 'cause you've got to bust loose (Oh, oh, oh-woah)
Girlfriend, yeah
How could you let him treat you so bad?
