Studio version
Well it's Saturday night, it's nearly midnight and you're still solo
We ought to see if we can find you a girl
You've been solo so long, some folks around here think you're in slow-mo
We ought to see if we can find you a girl
How about that one back there, I think she likes you
She said you got cute hair, she loves your laugh
Come on!
Hey! We ought to see if we can find you a girl
I'm not saying that you're stupid
I'm not trying to play cupid
But when you tell me you're not lonely
You say it's just you and you only
Hey! We ought to see if we can find you a girl
Hey! We ought to see if we can find you a girl
Hey! We ought to see if we can find you a girl
GIRLFRIEND is a 1996 song by Slim Dunlap. See the original Slim Dunlap version for more details. Bruce Springsteen recorded a version of the song sometime around 2023-2024. The above lyrics are for Bruce Springsteen's studio version of GIRLFRIEND.
On 20 Dec 2024, Springsteen called in Sirius XM's E Street Radio channel for an interview with host Jim Rotolo. The two talked about the ongoing tour and the upcoming Scott Cooper directed Springsteen biographical film Deliver Me from Nowhere, as well as what's next for 2025, including new music being released.
In the 10-minute conversation, Springsteen also talked about Slim Dunlap who passed away two days prior. He described him as "a unique guitarist, singer and songwriter, and one of the deepest and truest rock and roll souls I've ever heard." Springsteen had sent Rotolo in advance his own recording of Dunlap's GIRLFRIEND. It was premiered on-air midway through the interview. Introducing the song, Springsteen explained that he "cut it for a covers record that we were just fooling around with and working on in the studio with the band." When Rotolo asked Springsteen when he and the E Street Band recorded the song, he hesitantly answered that it was "probably a year ago or something. Yeah, just in the studio doing things." The song was likely recorded at Thrill Hill Recording (Springsteen's home studio) in Colts Neck, NJ.
Bruce Springsteen has never performed GIRLFRIEND live.
