Girlfriend Lyrics

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, babe
There's other fish in the sea

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

Girlfriend
How could you let him treat you so bad, oh
Girlfriend
You know you were the best he ever had, oh, oh, oh
Girlfriend
How could you let him treat you so bad, oh
Girlfriend
You know you were the best he ever had, oh, oh, oh

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

Girlfriend
How could you let him treat you so bad, oh
Girlfriend
You know you were the best he ever had, oh, oh, oh
Girlfriend
How could you let him treat you so bad (baby don't be sad, no)
Girlfriend
You know you were the best he ever had, oh, oh, oh

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, babe
There's other fish in the sea

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 your last lie
And I've cried my last cry
I'm out the door, babe
There's other fish in the sea

Girlfriend How could you let him treat you so bad
Girlfriend
You know you were the best he ever had

HOOK

Girlfriend
How could you let him treat you so bad, oh
Girlfriend
You know you were the best he ever had, oh, oh, oh
Girlfriend
How could you let him treat you so bad (baby don't be sad, no)
Girlfriend
You know you were the best he ever had, oh, oh, oh

Don't let him put you down
Girl, he's been messing around
You've been used, abused
Baby, make your move
You've learned your lesson now
So turn this hurt around
You ain't no fool, 'cause you've got to bust loose

Girlfriend
How could you let him treat you so bad, oh
Girlfriend
You know you were the best he ever had, oh, oh, oh

Don't let him put you down
Girl, he's been messing around
You've been used, abused
Baby, make your move
You've learned your lesson now
So turn this hurt around

-----
1) Reid was raised in Oakland, California. Nicknamed "Pebbles" as a toddler (after the cartoon character Pebbles Flintstone, whom she somewhat resembled), Pebbles is the cousin of R&B singer Cherrelle. A natural R&B soubrette, Pebbles began her career as a backup singer and song writer for groups like Con Funk Shun and Sister Sledge. In 1988 the singer's self-titled Platinum selling debut album on MCA produced the #1 hit "Mercedes Boy" (for the Corey Haim movie License to Drive) and top ten hit "Girlfriend", as well as the Top Five R&B hit "Take Your Time" and moderate hit "Do Me Right." Two years later in 1990, her sophomore album Always went Gold. The album brought the top ten hits "Giving You the Benefit", and "Backyard", featuring Salt-N-Pepa. The album featured more of a New Jack Swing edge. She was married to George Smith who mentored her and orchestrated her early career.

She married famed producer (and LaFace Records founder) Antonio Reid in 1990, and put aside her solo career to found her own production company, Pebbitone, in 1991. Pebbitone produced the Grammy Award winning group TLC. Although the group initially saw Pebbles as a maternal figure, the lack of financial success in contrast to their meteoric rise in popularity would drive a wedge between manager and group.

The ensuing backlash for their management was the cause of TLC's bankruptcy filing in 1994 (to release themselves from the contract), as well as the demise of Pebbles' marriage. She started her own record label, Savvy Records, in 1993, but shut it down in 1997, after embracing Christianity. Pebbles returned to her solo career in 1995 with the release of Straight from My Heart, a more mature work, showing her growth as an artist and an individual. It features the P-Funk dance-pop single "Are You Ready", which peaked at #19 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop chart. The second single, a cover of the Michael Jackson hit "I Can't Help It", gained minor airplay, but missed making the charts. Nevertheless, Straight from My Heart remains a fan favorite to this day. The track "Always" at the time was one of her biggest hits, most people didn't know who she performed the ballet with...Johnny Gill was an excellent selection for the song. The duet was one of the best of all time.

Currently a born again Christian and no longer known as Pebbles, Sister Perri Reid doesn't maintain a career in the entertainment industry and rarely makes public appearances. She founded "Women of God Changing Lives Through Christ", a women-focused ministry with which she continues to lead Tuesday night "healing services" in Atlanta, Georgia. Her son, Aaron Reid, was featured on MTV's My Super Sweet Sixteen in 2006. It has been said that if she chose to return to music, it would be as a Gospel music artist. Read more on Last.fm.
