Verse 1:
[Girlfriend 1]
I gotta tell you something, girl, don’t wanna cause a fight,
It’s not what you’re thinkin’, but it’s still a little slight.
We were out in the cold, and my hands were feelin’ blue,
And before I knew it, he said, “Here, take one, and two!”
[Girlfriend 2]
Wait, you mean his gloves? Oh honey, that’s insane!
Are we really talking gloves, or is this just a game?
‘Cause sharing gloves with a man, that’s like holding hands,
And you know that’s where all the slippery slopes land!
Chorus:
[Both]
I’d share a pair of gloves with that fellow,
Just one hand, girl, it’s really quite mellow!
No fingers intertwined, just pitch ‘n’ woo and warmth combined,
But hey, you say it’s the start of somethin’ I can’t unwind!
Verse 2:
[Girlfriend 1]
Look, it’s not like I’m movin’ in, or takin’ his beanie,
It’s just that my hands got cold, and that’s kinda funny.
It’s practical, don’t panic, don’t start to think it’s more,
We’re not picking out matching coats in a department store!
[Girlfriend 2]
Girl, you know what this means, it’s just like before,
First it’s gloves, then his jacket, then maybe even more!
Soon you’ll be wearin’ his socks and his sweater,
And that’s a level of comfort that’s hard to weather.
Chorus:
[Both]
I’d share a pair of gloves with that fellow,
Just one hand, girl, it’s really quite mellow!
No fingers intertwined, just pitch ‘n’ woo and warmth combined,
But hey, you say it’s the start of somethin’ I can’t unwind!
Bridge:
[Girlfriend 2]
What about the sweat, babe, did you think of that?
Men have sweaty hands, it’s a scientific fact!
And those gloves, I bet, were all stretched out wide,
You’re riskin’ finger monogamy for the sake of your pride!
[Girlfriend 1]
It was a one-time thing, just a moment in the breeze,
I wasn’t lookin’ for love, just tryin’ not to freeze!
But you’re right, it’s a slippery slope, I gotta admit,
One glove turns to two, and then I’m stuck in it!
Chorus:
[Both]
I’d share a pair of gloves with that fellow,
Just one hand, girl, it’s really quite mellow!
No fingers intertwined, just pitch ‘n’ woo and warmth combined,
But hey, you say it’s the start of somethin’ I can’t unwind!
Outro:
[Girlfriend 1]
Alright, alright, I’ll keep my own gloves next time!
No need to panic, no reason to climb.
But girl, if it’s snowin’, and my fingers are stuck,
I’m tellin’ you now, I might press my luck.
[Girlfriend 2]
Fine, just promise me this: no scarves, no hats,
If you’re sharing those too, I’m grabbing the bats!
[Both]
I’d share a pair of gloves with that fellow,
But next time, girl, I’ll keep it solo!
Just a warm hand here, no need to shed a tear,
But maybe next winter, I’ll switch to some earmuffs, dear!
(End with playful laughter)
(spoken)
Wait, there’s more. His gloves, I still have them.
