Girl lyrics

[Verse 1: Beyoncé]

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

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're your girls

Don't you know that we love you?

[Verse 2: 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 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 you

[Chorus: with Beyoncé ad-libs]

Girl, I can tell you've been crying

(We understand, don't be ashamed of your friends)

And you needing somebody to talk to

Girl, I can tell he's been lying

(Girl, I can tell he's been lying to you, he's no 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?

[Chorus:]

Girl, I can tell you've been crying

(Oh 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 move)

Girl, you don't have to be hiding

(I know where you are)

Don't you be ashamed to say he hurt you

(I know that you feel it girl)

I'm your girl, you're my girl, we're your girls

Don't you know that we love you?

[Bridge: Michelle]

Girl, take a good look at yourself

He got you going through hell

We ain't never (never) seen ya (seen ya)

down like this (no, no, no)

What you mean you don't need us to help?

We known each other too well

Girl, you're my girl, we're your girls

Don't you know that we love you?

Oh, yeah, yeah

[Chorus:]

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?
