Opening dialogue:
Hey, you know wanda, syreeta, come here
I wanna talk you you too. bonnie? charloe? joyce?
Carole? well. i gathered you all here today
To tell you something that's been on my mind
Well it kinda goes something llke this...
Let me be your guide through the state of confusion
I'll get you safely to the other side
But before i go jumpin' to any conclusions
Giving you one last chance to make
Things work out right (cause...)
Chorus:
Girlfriends stick together
Through the good times and the bad
You know. girlfriends stick together
They don't make each other sad
If they're girlfriends
Say, girfriend! -- if they're girlfriends
Chasing my old man at every opportunity
That's not the way a girlfriend plays her hand
Talk about bad times, this is the worst that it could be
Seeing you through this once -- but never again
(cause...)
Chorus:
Girlfriends stick together
Through the good times and the bad
Yeah, girlfriends stick together
They don't make each other sad
If they're girlfriends
Say, girlfriend! hey yeah
(if they're really girlfriends)
She's there all the time
(if they're girlfriends)
Talk about bad times, this is the worst that it could be
Seeing you through this once -- but never again
(cause...)
Chorus:
Girlfriends stick together
Through the good times and the bad
You know. girlfriends stick together
They don't make each other sad
If they're girlfriends
Repeat chorus:
The girl's alright with me
You know the girl's alright (...fade)
