+theNineCorners Vanessa? Vanessa who? You forgot the old timers: Chaka Khan, Pointer Sisters, Aretha Franklin, Patti LaBelle. They all had massive '80s hits!
Nah, this sounds like 20 other songs. This brainless beauty self claimed " Ima Vishunaree" made more money than all 3 tlc... same greedy trapping by boybander
Sometime a record company or a manager will mold a recording artist into what they want to sell. Pebbles was her own creation. Her "brand" came from her, based on interviews I've seen.
Man Frfr I was 10 when this joint came out. Had the biggest crush on her. I’m 47 now and even now when I look at this video I’m like damn pebbles FINNNEEEEE.
If I knew back in the late 80's that music would be like it is today, I would have become a scientist and make a damn time machine to stay in the 80's!!!
Man, this person is never lying! The music sucks now. Black music has gone down to shit, and there is no comparison to true Black music because is THE BEST.
Me too !! Although the 80’s was just as shady and shitty the only difference is we didn’t have the internet back then to blast all the crazy shit we did !!
I read that she was given more talented artist's music bc she was married to the producer... can't remember which song or what artist's. Guess it's deep dive time!
Gute Super Beautiful American Music, bleibt Super in Gold 👑🎷🎤🎹🥇🏆💃💖🎩🎤🇩🇪 thank you 🙏 for you e beautiful Music the 80. Jere absolutely., von ampiremusic Deutschland 🇩🇪 der Martin Budesheim Germany 🇩🇪. 🎸🗝🎷💃💖🎩🎤🇩🇪🧢🗝📀
I listen to this type of music and it takes me straight back to the dance floor in the 1980s. I love and miss that time of my life! No commitments, just fun with friends.
The look ...the vibe.. that shit is still relevant..and badass today...pay mad respect to 80's hip-hop. They laid the foundation and some cases surpassed modern music today...That shit still sounds good...Mad props!!
You don't get it. Music today is so technically advanced that you don't understand it. Technically music of today is so far advanced to this. Sonically maybe it's not that great. If you actually listen to music of today it's way way more technically advance music can't stay in the same medium It's growing every year. listen to any song that came out today and don't just listen to it but try and listen to it even deeper. than just lyrics and beats. You'll understand then. This music is simple the way it's arranged.
This was my absolute favorite song when I was a little girl. I can't even tell you all how many times I replayed the cassette single. (YES, you read that right.) Pretty sure I wore it out, and that my mom was sick and tired of hearing this song. Lol Good times.
I literally had her haircut. Not the curls, the layered thing. I was also a little girl when this song came out, but I ended up emulating that hair years later.
Gosh, I remember the first time hearing this song-the fast and clean percussion and catchy synth lines, hallmarks of The Deele’s production style…I was in love instantly and I still can’t get enough of it all these years later. Pebbles was the real deal, about to slide effortlessly among many styles of popular music.
They COULD come up with a song like this. But it would be plagiarism. They can't do anything original because these new "singers" have no talent at all.
This takes me back to 1988 when the radio played this every 2 hours for 3 months straight 🤣 I loved this. My favorite part was “To believe or not to believe, that is the quest-CHEE-on” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I heard this today on America's Top 40 replay from Apr. 1988. I was 25 then and had forgotten about this song. There was a local school girl in Calumet, MI that was always singing it. Pebbles is talented.
There’s never I time I don’t think of my little sister Shaun when “Girlfriend” and “Mercedes Boy” are playing. I believe they were her “anthem” songs! 💜 you Shaun! We had some good times with Pebbles, and The Deele!!
CASA Rodriguez Lol I was just about to post how my boyfriend back then thought she was so beautiful and he asked me if I would do my hair like hers in my Sr picture! Saw your comment and had to chuckle that there were probably a lot of us rocking that Pebbles hair then! She was definitely hot!
I still remember this song and had to look it up right now! This is like your best friend giving you a reality check that you really need to hear. Thanks Pebbles, what a great song!!!! I don't care whatever happened between her and TLC, it's all water under the bridge now, this song stands the test of time!!!!!
+Glory Mosby did you noticed the first black guy who appeared on this video? I think, he made an appearance in the Janet Jackson's music video called, "What have yuo done for me lately" also.
GlassLegend40 : Yep, I noticed him right away! ! I think he's been in several of JJ videos & in the opening of A Different World when Lisa Bonet is in the phone booth & he walks by ,then she drops the phone to follow him!! He was a popular choice back then!!!
No, actually to many! Mercedes boy was a huge improvement and giving you the benefit was too. Why you think Karyn White and Janet Jackson etc were more successful? lol
I love this song just to hear Pebbles say, "Hey Deele, sing!" She's the only woman I know that got to tell Babyface when to sing. This song is prestine. Shoutout to The Big Homie Pebbles.
Hmm… Tina Turner’s Private Dancer, Red Corvette lmao it’s always been there just waaay more subtle. Also, can go back further with the turn of “Gospel” music- hymns to secular music, but it was behind the scenes.
My favorite part is "Hey Deele, Sing!" and they start singing the chorus looking all cool, leaning on the wall snapping their fingers! 🙌🏽 I be hyped like yeah, sing it!! Lol My mom played this too much when I was a kid and now it's my jam!!

I’m 61 years old and still loving this!! ❤
80's !! You go girl...
Everything L.A & Babyface touched was Magic!
They were brilliant! ❤
Damn girl haven’t herd his name sinc I listened to guilty of love love ur comment
Oh man..that classic 80's sound can't ever be outdone.
Wrongo the classic 90s sound IMO. But the early 2000s that was the last decade of truly great music.
Never.
Agreed 💯
@MinkaCreates wrong, this was the late 80's. You probably weren't around back then. VH1 had this in heavy rotation.
@@KingKull1971 lol I meant I like 80s love 90s I was born in 2004.
She's gorgeous. No filter, no surgery
You really don’t think she had any work done ? I do
Yes 😂
Great singer too. Triple THREAT❤💯
She natural beauty don't hate on her !
No booty.
Back then it was all about Pebbles, Janet Jackson, Jody Watley, Karyn White, Sheila E, Neneh Cherry, Vanessa etc. Good times in r&b/pop/dance music.
True these girls were divas
+Micheal Alexander no like beyonce and Niki shaking there junk all over the place with no class
+theNineCorners Vanessa? Vanessa who? You forgot the old timers: Chaka Khan, Pointer Sisters, Aretha Franklin, Patti LaBelle. They all had massive '80s hits!
+David G. - That's why I followed the artist's I mentioned with the word --> "etc."
+David G. the pointer sisters?? what hit did they have in the late 80s
Music in the 80s was real music and with Class... Nothing will ever replace it... Natural talent and natural beauty...
No doubt.. best evrr
true
The best we ever had..ooh whoa!
Up
Nah, this sounds like 20 other songs. This brainless beauty self claimed " Ima Vishunaree" made more money than all 3 tlc... same greedy trapping by boybander
She's ridiculously beautiful
I'm jamming to this song in 2024❤❤
This song is still jamming 30 years later.
Right!!!!!!

woof ! :)
That ain't a lie💯🙌🏽
Make it 32 now!
Her hair was perfectly feathered! The style we all wanted back in the day!
That's a weave
Aww u a hater?or plain ugly?
I sent mine feathred
@@maddie7444 .. I think its her actually hair.
A DUBIE AND A SMILE
I grew up when music was REAL
Pebbles perfected the Uptown Girl vibe of the late 80s and early 90s.
Sometime a record company or a manager will mold a recording artist into what they want to sell. Pebbles was her own creation. Her "brand" came from her, based on interviews I've seen.
She fine as hell. Beauty in the 80’s & 90’s was just different
Black women were classier...
@@auntiez4917 Big facts
Man Frfr I was 10 when this joint came out. Had the biggest crush on her. I’m 47 now and even now when I look at this video I’m like damn pebbles FINNNEEEEE.
Your not lying back then women had a natural essence of class and appeal without the extras as we see today!
Natural beauty was more important!
Old, but GOLD. Still jamming to this in 2022. Girlfriend is a forever CLASSIC. Thank you Pebbles ❤️.
If I knew back in the late 80's that music would be like it is today, I would have become a scientist and make a damn time machine to stay in the 80's!!!
I know, right? Lol
zealot951 lol 😂 I feel you 💯💪
Lol then I would get to be a kid again 👍🏼
AMEN
Man, this person is never lying! The music sucks now. Black music has gone down to shit, and there is no comparison to true Black music because is THE BEST.

HAPPY 60TH BIRTHDAY

Wish I could go back to the 80's and leave this shitty time we live in now.
@@isaacloudermilk1842 i know, i wish a i had the knowlidge to built a time machine and then right back to the eighties
WOW NAILED IT ! I want a time machine go back to Utah back in the 80s best times of my life
Ugh, so do I. Don't know why I wanted to be grown up so bad. Miss the 80's and 90's😢
Me too !! Although the 80’s was just as shady and shitty the only difference is we didn’t have the internet back then to blast all the crazy shit we did !!
No shit😊
First Lady of LaFace ❤
I read that she was given more talented artist's music bc she was married to the producer... can't remember which song or what artist's. Guess it's deep dive time!
The beat to this song is EVERYTHING!!
Pebbles is part of my generation.
Dammm... Those were the good old days y'all! At 55 can't believe I'm still Lovin this
Well you're 58 now.

Me too 😊
Jenny N 🤣
This was my absolute favorite song when I was a little girl. I can't even tell you all how many times I replayed the cassette single. (YES, you read that right.) Pretty sure I wore it out, and that my mom was sick and tired of hearing this song. Lol
Good times.
GirlSproket me too . I wore it out in 3rd grade dancing in my room to her whole cd lol
Haha sounds like me when I replayed unchained melody by the righteous brothers. 😂
GirlSproket did you own “baby dont be sad now!” I sure did lol
Lol me too
I literally had her haircut. Not the curls, the layered thing. I was also a little girl when this song came out, but I ended up emulating that hair years later.
"I'm out the door babe. There's other fish in the sea."
Ain’t that the truth!
Now in 2024..all the other fish in the sea are sleeping w each other...nasty mfs
Amen. @@diamondsparkle9967
Have not heard this song in a longtime
LA and Babyface are two of my favorite producers of all time.
Im 42 now and i think we definitely had the best music during the 80s/90s
I'm 44 - It's not even debateable...
Gosh, I remember the first time hearing this song-the fast and clean percussion and catchy synth lines, hallmarks of The Deele’s production style…I was in love instantly and I still can’t get enough of it all these years later. Pebbles was the real deal, about to slide effortlessly among many styles of popular music.
The Deele was awesome! A genuine, classic, wholesome singing group.
violins may be!!
The lady's music 🎶 of the 80's were awesome 👌 👏 👍
I stil.have her album.pebbles and karyn white Jody.waltey.cherelle Janet Whitney were so 😎😎 cool.in the 80s old skool.for.ever and always
Hello,how are you
This song helped me leave my ex husband! Inspiring!
Those bangs is everything 😊
Yaas!!!!
As a young kid, I never realized the beauty of this woman. Now as an adult, I'm mesmerized by her beauty.
How did you not realise even then?? When I was about 4 I was memorized by Susannah Hoffs 😍
Man we had the best music
Hello,how are you doing
NEVER get tired of hearing this song and video! Why can't one of these modern day beeatchs come up with a song like this? Epic thru and thru!
😂
They COULD come up with a song like this. But it would be plagiarism. They can't do anything original because these new "singers" have no talent at all.
My God was pebbles so beautiful! And I freaking love her hair in this video! ICON!!!
A #1 hit for Pebbles on the Rhythm & Blues charts. It was the 594th #1 R&B song of the Rock Era.
This takes me back to 1988 when the radio played this every 2 hours for 3 months straight 🤣 I loved this. My favorite part was “To believe or not to believe, that is the quest-CHEE-on” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I remembered how Pebbles beautiful hairstyles were to die for back in the day!😍
Pebbles' Girlfriend song makes me wanna dance 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾 I still have love for Peebles
Can we bring back the 80s style trained background dancers please? Thank you! lol!!!
This was one of my obsessions as a kid as with most of my siblings. 😂 Pebbles is just so beautiful and talented! This song will never get old! 🔥❤
Agreed
I miss these Day’z 😢 😭
My birthday is March 16 ,1973 ,happy birthday to me love the song and I miss the song.
Hello,how are you doing

So true. The80were the best times🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤
Music Videos back then were many movies and we loved them. We all wanted to be in one
this song never gets old
I love this song by Pebbles!!❤️❤️🙏
This song peaked at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1988
There’s never I time I don’t think of my little sister Shaun when “Girlfriend” and “Mercedes Boy” are playing. I believe they were her “anthem” songs! 💜 you Shaun! We had some good times with Pebbles, and The Deele!!
I hear Pebbles, Babyface , L.A. Reid, De'Rock & Kayo : LaFace Records ... Back in da days... Amazing Production
yes, songs of the 80's ARE THE BEST
I remember doin my hair like hers & putting my outfits together to be exactly like this video. Thanks Pebbles for helping me get it !! Lol

called, "What have yuo done for me lately" also.

why? it sounds like a fucked up version of papa don't preach.. with a chick doing a bad adam ant inpression. lol
juan def : Only to you! !
No, actually to many!
Mercedes boy was a huge improvement and giving you the benefit was too.
Why you think Karyn White and Janet Jackson etc were more successful? lol
Man this song got me some play in high school. damn miss my 80s
I love this song just to hear Pebbles say, "Hey Deele, sing!" She's the only woman I know that got to tell Babyface when to sing. This song is prestine. Shoutout to The Big Homie Pebbles.

I love that part of the song, especially when they were all on Soul Train
He wrote it duh😂😂😂
Talk about a classic timeless song........this is it 💥💥
This classic tune should be #REMASTERED IN HD. #REMASTEREDINHD
This was my daddy’s favorite song in 87’
I'm still listening to this song here in 2024. Great song indeed by Pebbles.
Her hair was 🔥🔥🔥
The lyrics to the song is so real
Whew... those were the good old days!
80’s music was the best an iconic sound and you know what, no demonic symbols and witchcraft
Hmm… Tina Turner’s Private Dancer, Red Corvette lmao it’s always been there just waaay more subtle. Also, can go back further with the turn of “Gospel” music- hymns to secular music, but it was behind the scenes.
I agree in the sense before the darkness set in.
Yes there was Illuminati symbolism already , even in the 70’s
My favorite part is "Hey Deele, Sing!" and they start singing the chorus looking all cool, leaning on the wall snapping their fingers! 🙌🏽 I be hyped like yeah, sing it!! Lol My mom played this too much when I was a kid and now it's my jam!!
80s classics I’m a child of the 80s the best era ever and the last best era 😢
This song defined the 80s for me....weddings & quinceneras around Orange County and Los Angeles
Junior High memories!!! Miss those days. 😢

LYRICS BELOW◇♡◇
[Intro:]
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
[Verse 1:]
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 running 'round in heat
[Chorus x2:]
Girlfriend
How could you let him treat you so bad
Oh
Girlfriend
You know you were the best he ever had
Oh, oh, oh
[Verse 2:]
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
[Repeat Chorus:]
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
[Bridge:]
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
[Repeat Chorus:]
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
Don't be no fool
Cause you've got to bust loose
So true every word in here for me.I walked out forever
Another hit produced by the one and only Master, Babyface
Why were they so much more talented back then and she is drop dead gorgeous.
As a millennial, I love listening to a lot of the songs my mom grew up listening to, mostly the ones from the 80s/90s.
Yesss!!!❤
Nothing will ever replace the 80s. The music now is ok but the 80s is the shit.
Another smashing hit from Pebbles
It's the dramatic violins in this song for me 😂😂💯
35 years ago and still rocking.
