Call your girlfriend
It's time you had the talk
Give your reasons
Say it's not her fault
But you just met somebody new
Tell her not to get upset, second-guessing everything you said and done
And then when she gets upset tell her how you never mean to hurt no one
Then you tell her that the only way her heart will mend is when she learns to love again
And it won't make sense right now but you're still her friend
And then you let her down easy
Call your girlfriend
It's time you had the talk
Give your reasons
Say it's not her fault
But you just met somebody new
Don't you tell her how I give you something that you never even knew you missed
Don't you even try and explain how it's so different when we kiss
And you just tell her that the only way her heart will mend is when she learns to love again
And it won't make sense right now but you're still her friend
And then you let her down easy
Call your girlfriend
It's time you had the talk
Give your reasons
Say it's not her fault
But you just met somebody new
And now it's gonna be me and you
And you tell her that the only way her heart will mend is when she learns to love again
And it won't make sense right now but you're still her friend
And then you let her down easy
Call your girlfriend
It's time you had the talk
Give your reasons
Say it's not her fault
Call your girlfriend
It's time you had the talk
Give your reasons
Say it's not her fault
But you just met somebody new
It's time you had the talk
Give your reasons
Say it's not her fault
But you just met somebody new
Tell her not to get upset, second-guessing everything you said and done
And then when she gets upset tell her how you never mean to hurt no one
Then you tell her that the only way her heart will mend is when she learns to love again
And it won't make sense right now but you're still her friend
And then you let her down easy
Call your girlfriend
It's time you had the talk
Give your reasons
Say it's not her fault
But you just met somebody new
Don't you tell her how I give you something that you never even knew you missed
Don't you even try and explain how it's so different when we kiss
And you just tell her that the only way her heart will mend is when she learns to love again
And it won't make sense right now but you're still her friend
And then you let her down easy
Call your girlfriend
It's time you had the talk
Give your reasons
Say it's not her fault
But you just met somebody new
And now it's gonna be me and you
And you tell her that the only way her heart will mend is when she learns to love again
And it won't make sense right now but you're still her friend
And then you let her down easy
Call your girlfriend
It's time you had the talk
Give your reasons
Say it's not her fault
Call your girlfriend
It's time you had the talk
Give your reasons
Say it's not her fault
But you just met somebody new

I honestly think the lyrics to this song are fabulous. It is so touching. My heart breaks for the girlfriend but at the same time I feel like the mistress is such a good person. She is concerned about her lover's girlfriend so much. And she appreciates the fact that while her lover may not be "in love" with his girlfriend, she is still someone important to him. This is shown when she says "and it might not make sense now, but you're still her friend." The mistress knows. Just because they aren't going to be together any more doesn't mean he doesn't still care for her as a friend.
"Say it's not her fault
But you just met somebody new" How could she not think it's her fault? Meeting someone new is not easy - especially if you are in a commited relationship. And to LEAVE because you met someone else - is a very petty reason to leave someone you apparently love.
Also this line "And then when she gets upset tell her how you never mean to hurt no one"
She knows he wasn't meant to hurt her but his actions demonstrate otherwise. How is she not supposed to be hurt? People get hurt when cheated on. It's a selfish excuse.
Lastly - "And it won't make sense right now but you're still her friend" everyone knows that the 'friend' line is the worst line out there when going through a break up.
However it most likely is from the 'mistress' perspective - and that would then mean sounds like a condescending selfish person - trying to convince him to do something he is unsure of. She is trying to have him to herself and her words carry no weight. She knows regardless of what she says the girlfriend is going to be hurt - but her goal is to ensure it's spoken about so it's a step foward with pursuing a r'ship with him.
Call your girlfriend, it's time you had the talk [He's been putting it off again and again, partly because he doesn't want to break up what he already has and partly because he can't fully admit that he fell for another man - or that he's attracted to men in general.]
Give your reasons, say it's not her fault
But you just met somebody new [It's not her fault that he's fallen for a man.]
Tell her not to get upset, second-guessing everything you said and done [By now, she must be devastated, she thinks he is gay and didn't really like her; but he really did like her, his affection was real. Also touches on bisexuality and how people sometimes pin "gay" or "straight" on others without recognizing a middle ground.]
And then when she gets upset tell her how you never meant to hurt no one [He did love her, but he just happened to fall for some other guy.]
Don't you tell her how I give you something that you never even knew you missed
Don't you even try and explain how it's so different when we kiss [Referring to the guy's different experiences with men and women; neither is better than the other, just different, and now he's finding something new and exciting with the new guy.]
Just my personal interpretation. I'm obviously not claiming this is what the songwriters meant, but I like this different spin on it.
