Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You's a nasty (nasty), trashy (nasty)
Sleazy (nasty), classless (nasty)

Nasty, put some clothes on, I told ya
Don't walk out your house without your clothes on, I told ya
Girl, what you thinkin' 'bout lookin' that to' down, I told ya
These men don't want no hot female
That's been around the block female, you nasty, girl

Nasty, put some clothes on, I told ya
Don't walk out your house without your clothes on, I told ya
Girl, what you thinkin' 'bout lookin' that to' down, I told ya
These men don't want no hot female
That's been around the block female, you nasty, girl

Shakin' that thang on that man
Lookin' all stank and nasty
You swore you look cute, girl, in them dukes?
Booty all out, lookin' trashy
Sleazy, put some clothes on, I told ya
Don't walk out your heezy without clothes on, I told ya

You nasty girl, you nasty, you trashy
You classless, girl, you sleazy, you freaky
I never met a girl that does the things that you do
Change don't come your way, it will come back to you
Put some clothes on, girl

Nasty, put some clothes on, I told ya (I told ya)
Don't walk out your house
Without your clothes on, I told ya (put some clothes on)
Girl, what you thinkin' 'bout lookin' that to' down, I told ya
These men don't want no hot female (no, no)
That's been around the block female, you nasty, girl

Nasty, put some clothes on, I told ya
Don't walk out your house without your clothes on, I told ya
Girl, what you thinkin' 'bout lookin' that to' down, I told ya
These men don't want no hot female
That's been around the block female, you nasty, girl

Booty all out, tongue out her mouth
Cleavage from here to Mexico
She walks with a twist, one hand on her hip
When she gets with ya, she lets it go
Nasty, put some clothes on, you look to' down
Nasty, don't know why you will not sit down

Boots on her feet, swear she's in heat
Flirtin' with every man she sees
Her pants hangin' low, she never say no
Everyone knows she's easy
Nasty, put some clothes on, you lookin' stank
Nasty, where's your pride, you should be ashamed

You make it hard for women like me
Who try to have some integrity
You make it hard for girls like myself
Who respect themselves and have dignity
You're nasty, girl, you're nasty, you're trashy
You're classless, girl, you're sleazy, you're freaky
N-A-S-T-Y, you're nasty, F-R-E-A-K-Y, you're freaky
Girl, where's your P-R-I-D-E? Put some clothes on

Nasty, put some clothes on, I told ya (I told ya)
Don't walk out your house without your clothes on, I told ya
Girl, what you thinkin' 'bout lookin' that to' down, I told ya
These men don't want no hot female (no, they don't)
That's been around the block female, you nasty, girl

Nasty, put some clothes on (you're nasty, girl
I told ya (you're nasty, put some clothes on, don't walk out your house))
Don't walk out your house without your clothes on, I told ya
Girl what you thinkin' bout lookin' that to' down, I told ya
These men don't want no hot female (don't want you, don't want you)
That's been around the block female (don't want you no more, oh)
You nasty, girl

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

You so nasty, girl, you so, you so nasty, girl
You so, you so nasty, girl, you so
You so nasty, girl, put some clothes on, girl

Nasty, put some clothes on, I told ya
Don't walk out your house without your clothes on, I told ya
Girl, what you thinkin' 'bout
Lookin' that to' down, I told ya (woman to woman)
These men don't want no hot female (girl, put your clothes on)
That's been around the block female, you nasty, girl

Nasty, put some clothes on, I told ya (you nasty, girl)
Don't walk out your house (you so, you so nasty, girl)
Without your clothes on, I told ya (you so, you so nasty, girl)
Girl, what you thinkin' 'bout lookin' that to' down, I told ya
These men don't want no hot female (you so nasty, girl)
That's been around the block female, you nasty, girl





Nasty, girl, yeah, you so, you so, you so nasty, girl
You nasty, nasty, nasty, nasty girl

Overall Meaning

Destiny’s Child's song Nasty Girl talks about a girl who doesn't care about her appearance or how she presents herself in public, dressing inappropriately with little or no clothes on. The song is about calling out a woman for her behavior and advising her to respect herself by putting on some clothes because she is making it difficult for women who try to maintain their dignity and self respect. The song’s message is about empowering young women to embrace their inner self-worth, self-respect and have a sense of pride.


The opening lyrics are, "You's a nasty (nasty), trashy (nasty) Sleazy (nasty), classless (nasty)." The adjectives used in these lyrics are strong and meant to shame the girl for her behavior. Throughout the song, the girl is being called “nasty” and reminded that her behavior would only attract the wrong kind of men.


The song came out in 2002 as part of their album titled “This is the Remix.” The song peaked at number 3 on the US Billboard dance chart and also topped the charts in Australia and New Zealand. The song was nominated for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals at the 2003 Grammy Awards but lost to “Love and Life” by Mary J. Blige.
