DESTINY'S CHILD - GIRL

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 (Yeah)
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
(For) You To Let Him Walk Over Your Heart
I'm Telling 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'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 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 You All Understand
I'm Telling You

Girl, I Can Tell You've Been Crying
We Understand Don't Be Ashamed To Your Friend
And You Needing Somebody To Talk To
Girl, I Can Tell He's Been Lying
Girl, I Can Tell He's Been Lying, He's Not Good For You
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?

Girl, I Can Tell You've Been Crying
Girl, I Can Tell You've 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 The Way You
Girl, You Don't Have To Be Hiding
I Know What You Are
Don't You Be Ashamed To Say He Hurt You
I Know That You Feel Enough
I'm Your Girl, You're My Girl, We're Your Girls
Don't You Know That We Love You?

Girl, Take A Good Look At Yourself
He Got You Going Through Hell
We Ain't Never Seen You Down Like This
What You Mean You Don't Need Us To Help?
We Known Each Other Too Well

I'm Your Girl, You're My Girl, We're Your Girls
Don't You Know That We Love You?

Oh, Yeah, Yeah

Girl, I Can Tell You've Been Crying
And You Needing Somebody To Talk To
(I Been Knowing You Since You Was Ten)
(You Cannot Hide From Your Friends, Girl)
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?

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're Your Girls
Don't You Know That We Love You?
