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 all over your heart I'm telling you Girl, I can tell you been crying And you needing someone 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 y'all don't know about him Is I can't let him go because he needs me It ain't really him its stress from the 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 ya'll understand I'm telling you Girl, I can tell you been crying And you needing someone 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 Girl, I can tell you been crying And you needing someone 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 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 Girl, You're my girl, we're your girls Don't you know that we love you Girl, I can tell you been crying And you needing someone 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 Girl, I can tell you 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
