Girl by Destiny's Child

Artist: Destiny's Child

Genre: Pop

Length: 3:44

“Girl” was the 3rd single to be released from Destiny Fulfilled, after “Lose My Breath” and “Soldier.” In a 2013 interview with Hot 107.9, Kelly Rowland revealed that the song was actually written by Beyoncé and Michelle as a request for her to leave an abusive relationship. When asked if she became emotional when she first heard ‘Girl’, Rowland confessed: Of course, I did! The girls wrote it for me. Destiny’s Child is deeper than what people see on the surface. Those are my homies for life...

Girl lyrics

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 the passion
Because we've come too far for you to feel alone
You don't let him walk over your heart, I'm tellin' you
Girl, I can tell you've been crying and you 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 your girls
Don't you know that we love you
See, what y'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 most of the time
But I know deep inside, he don't mean it
It gets hard sometimes, but I need my man
I don't think y'all understand, I'm telling ya
Girl, I can tell you've been crying
And you needing somebody to talk to (we understand, don't be ashamed of your friend)
Girl, I can tell he's been lying and pretending
That he's faithful, and he loves you (I can tell he's been lying to you, he's not good for 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 your girls
Don't you know that we love you
Girl, I can tell you've been crying (oh girl, I can tell you been crying)
And you needing somebody to talk to (I can see it in your eyes)
Girl, I can tell he's been lying (I can tell he's been lying)
And pretending that he's faithful, and he loves you (I can see it in you)
Girl, you don't have to be hiding (I know what you're feeling girl)
Don't you be ashamed to say he hurt you
I'm your girl, you're my girl, we your girls
Don't you know that we love you
Girl, take a good look at yourself (girl)
He got you goin' through hell (girl)
We ain't never seen ya down like this (no, no, girl)
What you mean you don't need us to help? (Girl)
We known each other too well
Girl, you're my girl, we're your girls (whoa)
We want you to know that we love ya (yeah, yeah)
Girl, I can tell you've been crying and you 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 your girls
Don't you know that we love you
Girl, I can tell you've been crying and you 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 your girls
Don't you know that we love you
