"She's Not My Girlfriend" is the fourth and final track on the 1990 release Grist-O-Line. It was written about a girl named Heather, a friend of Manson's then-girlfriend, who he began sleeping with after drawing the apparent conclusion that his girlfriend was having an affair with Heather's boyfriend. Heather became psychotic and delirious in her being attached to Manson and the band, and believing herself that the band was just as much hers as it was Manson's. She was soonafter replaced as a stage girl by Manson's next girlfriend Missi Romero. Heather, and certain aspects of this song, are detailed in Manson's autobiography The Long Hard road out of Hell, albeit with Heather referred to as "Nancy".

Lyrics
her heart is in my hand
it shivers like a toad
she tries to understand the
tiny lump that's down
inside her throat it goes
suck suck
her face is inside out
an open book report
i read what she's about and she's
filled with words that hurt it goes
suck suck
her head is in my lap
it twists and coughs and sings
her hair is in my grasp
it hangs and swings like
swollen strings she just
suck suck
sometimes i want her in
sometimes i want her out
my perception of sin
is filled with pain and fear
and doubt
she is not my girlfriend
i'm not who you think i am
her clothes are on the ground
a crumpled rainbow mass
she's scattered all around
and she's scattered now
like broken glass it goes
suck suck
sometimes i want her in
sometimes i want her out
my perception of sin
is filled with pain and fear
and doubt
she is not my girlfriend
i'm not who you think i am
