Girlfriend. Matthew Sweet.




1. Divine intervention.

I don't know where I'm gonna live, don't know if I'll find a place, I'd have to think about it some and that I do not wish to face, I guess I'm counting on his divine intervention.

I cannot understand my God, I don't know why it gets to me, one day my life is filled with joy and then we find we disagree, all depending on his divine intervention, we’re counting on his.

Does he love us, does he love us, does he love us does he love us? I look around and all I see is destruction, we're all counting on his divine intervention. When he comes the sun shine, when he comes the sun shine, sunshine, the sunshine, here it comes, divine intervention, divine intervention.


2. I've been waiting.

When you said to me, you are not so old, did I know it then? 'Cause I had just been told, I didn't think I'd find you perfect in so many ways but I've been waiting, waiting, and I want to have you, I've been waiting, waiting, and I want to.

The secret on your lips that nobody knows, gentle in your eyes, you can wear my clothes, I didn't think I'd find you perfect in so many ways but I've been waiting, waiting, and I want to have you, I've been waiting, waiting, and I want to have you, I've been waiting, waiting, and I want to.

When you said to me, you are not so old, did I know it then? 'Cause I had just been told, you know I didn't think I'd find you perfect in so many ways but I've been waiting, waiting, and I want to have you, I've been waiting, waiting, and I want to have you, I've been waiting, waiting, and I want to have you, I've been waiting, waiting, and I want to. I've been waiting, waiting...


3. Girlfriend.

I want to love somebody, I hear you need somebody to love, oh, I want to love somebody, I hear you're looking for somebody to love, 'cause you need to be back in the arms of a good friend and I need to be back in the arms of a girlfriend.

I didn't know nobody and then I saw you coming my way, oh, I didn't know nobody and then I saw you coming my way, don't you need to be back in the arms of a good friend? Oh, 'cause honey, believe me, I'd sure love to call you my girlfriend.

Don't you need to be back in the arms of a good friend? Oh, 'cause honey, believe me, I'd sure love to call you my girlfriend. 'Cause you got a good thing going baby, you only need somebody to love, oh, you got a good thing going, you're only looking for someone to love, 'cause you need to get back in the arms of a good friend.

And I'm never gonna set you free, no I'm never gonna set you free.


4. Looking at the sun.

Do you really want to run away with me? Would you really like to run away with me? I can feel very clearly, no longer see. For I'm looking at the sun waiting for you to appear, watched you getting nearer like I knew it in my heart, the damage was already done, looking at the sun burned my eyes out and I'm blind now.

I was looking for somebody that you couldn't be, I was looking for somebody you would never be, I was so sure there was nothing wrong with me. But I'm looking at the sun waiting for you to appear, watched you getting nearer like I knew it in my heart, the damage was already done, looking at the sun burned my eyes out and I'm blind now.

I'm blind, do you really want to run away with me? I can feel very clearly but no longer, I'm looking at the sun waiting for you to appear, watched you getting nearer like I knew it in my heart, the damage was already done, looking at the sun burned my eyes out and now I'm blind.

Looking at the sun waiting for you to appear, watched you getting nearer like I knew it in my heart, the damage was already done, looking at the sun burned my eyes out and now I'm blind yeah I'm blind now.


5. Winona.

I tried to call you but the line was busy, were you talking to a friend? And when I tried again much later I didn't want to let it ring again, so you can see I've got a problem, back by popular demand, sometimes I want to keep it from you, sometimes I think you'll understand. Could you be my little movie star, could you be my long lost girl, it's true that I don't really know you but I'm alone in the world.

When I think maybe I need you I don't care if it's not true 'cause it isn't so much what I need now as what I want from you. Could you be my little movie star, could you be my long lost girl, it's true that I don't really know you but I'm alone in the world, could you be my little movie star, could you be my long lost girl, it's true that I don't really know you. I feel alone, I feel alone.


6. Evangeline.

She's on another planet, she's in my dream, she's some kind of angel if you know what I mean, try her on and she fits like a glove, too bad, she only thinks about the lord above. Evangeline, Evangeline, I think I love you but Evangeline, Evangeline, I want you.

Now if I called you up do you think you could deliver my soul? Won't you take a drink, little darling, the cup is full, and every night I bow to pray but I'll feel a whole lot better once you're coming my way. Evangeline, Evangeline, I think I love you but Evangeline, Evangeline, I want you, so come on down.

So tell me how you want it, come on, tell me how you want it, just tell me how you want it, just tell me how you want it, we won't be seen, you can tell your father it was all a dream, try her on and she fits like a glove, too bad the only man you trust is god above. Evangeline, Evangeline, I think I love you but Evangeline, Evangeline, I want you, now Evangeline, Evangeline, I think I love you, but Evangeline, Evangeline, I want you.

She's some kind of angel, if you know what I mean, Evangeline.


7. Day for night.

What you gave me, I could feel it like the warm rays of the sun, such a small thing took me farther, then I'd been with anyone, so what else can I tell you? My life was simply very bright, so I traded the day for night.

Well I love you and I want you, you should know that anyway, well I love you and I want you, doesn't mean I'll stay. And how much can I tell you when my brain is terminally light, and so bright that I traded the day for night.

What else can I tell you? My life was simply very bright so I traded the day for night, I traded the day for night.


8. Thought I knew you.

I thought I knew you, I was in for a surprise, I let my love flow from my heart into your eyes, and then I found out there was nothing I could know or guess about you, you'd go as far as you could go, and it took me years to figure out that there was nothing I could give to you, years to figure out that there was nothing you would take from me, and how can I describe the way you slowly put my hope away, and all of the time I thought I knew you.

I thought I knew you but I wasn't even close, I had my heart set on more than a ghost and I thought I'd show you there was no way we could lose, I thought I'd force you to realize and choose, and it took me years to figure out that there was nothing I could show to you, years to figure out that you were never really going to choose, and how can I describe the way I slowly lost my love for you when all of the time, I thought I knew you.

And it took me years to figure out that there was nothing I could show to you, years to figure out that you were never really going to choose, and how can I describe the way I slowly lost my love for you when all of the time, I thought I knew you


9. You don't love me.

What a beautiful moment, the truth comes out at last once your heart would own me forever, then this passed, and what a beautiful moment as my head comes apart, drunk and in a manner of saying, wasted 'cause you don't love me, you don't love me, you can't see how I matter in this world, even though I loved you, you can't believe that if you find something you think might make you happy, then I guess it's okay, I think it's okay, if you go away.

Blown right out of my senses, I did not know what to do, lost and badly wanting someone to see me through, that's why I needed you but you don't love me, you don't love me, you can't see how I matter in this world, even though I loved you, you can't believe that if you find something you think might make you happy, then I guess it's okay, I think it's okay, if you go away, ‘cause you don’t love me, you don't love me…


10. I wanted to tell you.

Do just what you want to, I think you're right, I do what I want to do, I do what I want to do, I let the world surround me 'cause I saw no real harm, I didn't stop to think of you, you were already in my arms, I was wrong but I wanted to tell you, I wanted to tell you, what I couldn't say, love, I needed to find mine but it took me a long time to see.

Love, well never mind, I know how you feel about that, now what do you think about time? Something I wanted to tell you, I wanted to tell you, what I couldn't say, love, I needed to find mine but it took me a long time to see.

I do what I want to do, I do what I want to do, I do what I want to do, I do what I want to do, I let the world surround me 'cause I saw no real harm, I didn't stop to think of you, you were already in my arms, something I wanted to tell you, I wanted to tell you, what I couldn't say, love, I needed to find mine but it took me a long time to see. Love.


11. Don't go.

Don't go, don't let my love drive you away, there is so much I have left to say, oh don't, go don't bring my darkness to the day, there is so much I have left to say, oh, don't go, there is so much I have left to say.

Come back, you know I wrote another song, they keep telling me the past is gone but it looks like ey evil deeds are coming 'round, I can't watch them put you in the ground, oh, don't go, I can't watch them put you in the ground, don't go.

Don't go, don't make me have to say goodbye, ‘cause I need to look you in the eye, oh, don't go, I still need to look you in the eye, don't go, I still need to look you in the eye, don't go, no don't go.


12. Your sweet voice.

Speak to me with your sweet voice and take me through another night, speak to me with your soft voice and I will surely be alright, if I can close my eyes without a fear, speak to me with your sweet voice near.

Hold me in your warm hand and I could sleep with you tonight, hold me in your warm hand and I could sleep with you tonight, and all my earthly cares might fade away if you hold me in your warm hand that way. It's as close as I get to love, as close as I get to love, speak to me with your sweet voice again.

Speak to me with your sweet voice and take me through another night, speak to me with your soft voice and I will surely be alright, if I can close my eyes without a fear, speak to me with your sweet voice…


13. Does she talk?

She's just your size, she's sexy, she's beautiful, does she talk? She's just your size, she's sexy, she's beautiful, does she talk? 'Cause man you can't teach a slithering snake how to walk.

Did she lick your palm to tell you your fortune tonight? Did she lick your palm to tell you your fortune tonight? You know sometimes it just isn't worth putting up a fight, is it?

Gonna need you a key to open the door to her heart, gonna need you a key to open the door to her heart, or are you afraid, her body is missing that part? Well I can, you up the, you can, me up the, alright, well I can, you up the, you can, me up the, alright, because they took channel 23 off the air last night down home. You're gonna like it, you're gonna like it...


14. Holy war.

I've spent twenty years learning to live in a world that takes back all that it gives but I do not want a war, I don't know what's going on in the scenes behind, I worry about it some of the time and I hope there's not a war 'cause I'm not in for killing another man, defending my holy land as if there's a god who would understand.

And I would walk across highways to find my fate if that might settle your crude debate, but I do not want a war 'cause I'm not in for killing another man, defending my holy land as if there's a god who would understand. Feeding the promised land with your blood by my own hand, at Allah's own command, at Allah's own command.

I came up from the desert and here I will die, tooth for tooth and an eye for an eye though I didn't want a war, I went in for killing another man, defending my holy land as if there's a god who would understand, as if there's a god who would understand, I went in for killing another man, defending my holy land as if there's a god who would understand, as if there's a god who would understand, oh yeah...


15. Nothing lasts.

If one could stop time or make it up, if tow could realize the best of luck, if I could locate a god above and you only wanted to be loved, then I'd try to hang on to the past but you know that nothing, oh no, nothing lasts, nothing lasts.

It's time to move on, let the past go, I've waited for you here but you never showed, although I asked you to let me know I only felt a cold wind blow, while I tried to hang on to the past but you know that nothing, oh no, nothing lasts.

Nothing's in your way, now you can stand right up and run, woudln't even change things if you took back what you'd done, I have tried to hang on to the past but I couldn't keep my grasp, ‘cause nothing lasts, nothing lasts, nothing lasts.
