Lyrics to Girl by Destiny's Child

[Beyonce]
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 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 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 ya

[Kelly]
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 he be tired, he don't mean it
It gets hard sometimes
But I need my man
I don't think y'all understand
I'm telling you

[chorus 2x]
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 (oh, I can tell he's been lying)
And pretending that he's faithful and he loves 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 ya

[Michelle]
(Girl) girl, take a good look at yourself
He got you going through hell
We ain't never seen ya 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 your girls
And don't you know we love ya

Yeah

[chorus 2x]
Girl, I can tell you've been crying
And you needing somebody to talk to
Girl, I can tell he's been lying
(I been knowin' you since you was ten
You cannot hide from your friends, girl)
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 ya
