GIRL
by Destiny's Child
Take a minute, girl, come sit down
And tell us what's been happening.
In your face I can see the pain.
Don't you try to convince us
That you're happy.
We've seen this all before.
But he's taking advantage of your passion
Because we've come too far
For you to feel alone.
You don't let him walk over your heart.
I'm telling you.
[Chorus:]
Girl, I can tell you've been crying
And you're needing somebody to talk to.
Girl, I can tell he's been lying
And pretending that
He's faithful and he loves you.
Girl, you don't have to be hiding.
Don't you be ashamed to say he hurt you.
I'm your girl, you're my girl, we're your girls.
Don't you know that we love you?
See, what you all don't know about him
Is I can't let him go because he needs me.
It ain't really him, it's stress from his job
And I ain't making it easy.
I know you see him bugging on me sometimes
But I know deep inside he doesn't mean it.
It gets hard sometimes
But I need my man.
I don't think you'll understand.
I'm telling you.
[Chorus]
Girl, take a good look at yourself.
He got you going through hell.
We ain't never seen you down like this.
What do you mean
You don't need us to help?
We know each other too well.
[Chorus]
Girl, I've been knowing you
Since you were ten,
You cannot hide from your friends.
[Chorus]
