  • Watch the official music video for "Girlfriend" by The Darkness.
    Released as the third single from their second studio album, "One Way Ticket to Hell... And Back", on 22 May 2006, it was the band's last single before their five-year disbandment later that year.
    The song is written from the perspective of a man who has cheated on his girlfriend with another woman. He tells his now angry girlfriend in the first verse that the other girl meant nothing to him. In the second verse he admits that the relationship is over and his once girlfriend is now his ex.
    The music video for the song is inspired by the film Flashdance.

      The verses are much better, especially the descending 4 bars x 2 that start the verses. The chorus is mainly filler but still completes the song nicely.

    Girl, I know I've got a funny way
    Of showing it
    Yes, I thought our love was here to stay
    And blowing it
    Was never on my agenda
    She meant nothing to me
    I meant nothing to her
    And now I realise it's over
    I've just got to tell yer
    Girlfriend, I love you, I love you, I love you so much
    I love you, I love you, I love you so much
    I love you, I love you, I love you so much, so much
    Girl, I know I ripped your heart right out
    So why pretend
    That there is even a shadow of doubt
    That it's the end
    Why the hell are we breaking our necks
    Where there's absolutely no affection, hardly any sex
    To simplify something that extremely complex
    You were my girlfriend and now you're my ex
    Girlfriend, I love you, I love you, I love you so much
    I love you, I love you, I love you so much
    I love you, I love you, I love you so much, so much
    Girlfriend, I love you, I love you, I love you so much
    I love you, I love you, I love you so much
    I love you, I love you, I love you so much, so much
    Girlfriend, I love you, I love you, I love you so much
    I love you, I love you, I love you so much
