Girlfriend

Hello and how are you, and how do you do
and who is that girl standing right next to you?
and what is her name, and what does she do?
I'm looking at her, while i'm talking to you
Her love must be sweeter than candy
Must be stronger than brandy
Why does she like you not me?
Can I buy you a drink
You seem a decent chap
I'm friendly to your face but
Behind your back
What i like most about you
Is your girlfriend, it's true
Her love must be sweeter than candy
Must be stronger than brandy
Why does she like you not me?
I agree with what you say, I think it must be true
Your girlfriend has only got one fault, that's you
What i like most about you
Is your girlfriend, it's true
When will we meet again, and where will it be
Why don't you both come over, to my house for tea
I'd rather she came round on her own yes its true
Your girlfriend is what i like most about you
what i like most about you
Is your girlfriend, its true
