[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
Brothers takin' 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

[Chorus: Beyoncé]
Girl, I can tell you been cryin'
And you're needin' somebody to talk to
Girl, I can tell he's been lyin'
And pretendin' that he's faithful and he loves you
Girl, you don't have to be hidin'
Don't you be ashamed to say he hurt you
I'm your girl, you're my girl, we're your girls
We want you to know that we love ya

[Verse 2: Kelly Rowland]
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 makin' it easy
I know you see him buggin' 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 tellin' you
[Chorus: Beyoncé]
Girl, I can tell you been cryin' (We understand)
And you're needin' somebody to talk to (Don't be ashamed, I'm your friend)
Girl, I can tell he's been lyin' (I can tell he's been lyin' to you)
And pretendin' that he's faithful and he loves you (He's no good for you)
Girl, you don't have to be hidin'
Don't you be ashamed to say he hurt you (No no, no no, no)
I'm your girl, you're my girl, we're your girls
We want you to know that we love ya
Oh, girl, I can tell you been cryin' (I can tell you've been cryin')
And you're needin' somebody to talk to (I can see it in your eyes)
Girl, I can tell he's been lyin' (I can tell he's been lyin')
And pretendin' that he's faithful and he loves you (I can see it in the way you move)
Girl, you don't have to be hidin' (I've been where you are)
Don't you be ashamed to say he hurt you (I know what you're feelin', girl)
I'm your girl, you're my girl, we're your girls
We want you to know that we love ya

[Bridge: Michelle Williams, Beyoncé]
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 (Woah)
We want you to know that we love ya (Yeah, yeah)
[Chorus: Beyoncé]
Girl, I can tell you been cryin' (Girl)
And you're needin' somebody to talk to (I've been knowin' you since you were 10)
Girl, I can tell he's been lyin' (You cannot hide from your friend)
And pretendin' that he's faithful and he loves you (Girl)
Girl, you don't have to be hidin'
Don't you be ashamed to say he hurt you
I'm your girl, you're my girl, we're your girls
We want you to know that we love ya
Girl, I can tell you been cryin'
And you're needin' somebody to talk to
Girl, I can tell he's been lyin'
And pretendin' that he's faithful and he loves you
Girl, you don't have to be hidin'
Don't you be ashamed to say he hurt you
I'm your girl, you're my girl, we're your girls
We want you to know that we love ya
