Exactly, exactly, exactly
Why you gotta ask me what is wrong
You know I wish that we could get along
Bitch you spraying me down
Then you just giving me head
And you don’t want me around
Then your asleep in my bed
Bitch you gon put me in debt
Swear It’s not like I don’t care
Please just give me a rest
Cause god knows you ain’t the best to me
But you know I ain’t either
Anyways man I digress
Can you just make up your mind
Cause I feel like we is running out of time
Or maybe you just out your mind
Well maybe that makes 2 of us cause bitch you know you out of mine
I don't get why you just gotta be the best one, out of
The two of us ya the two of us
Woah girl, you know that I’d never hurt you
So why the fuck you say that I’d desert you
Feels like I just totally deserve you
Guess my friends are right cause I ain’t seen the worse you
The worst place I've ever been is your space
I don't give a fuck about a bitch or what she gotta say
She gon rob in broad day, take my heart away
She gon try and do the race, Funny think she got away
Shoot my shot like Hardaway, she took a part of me
She tryna play these games this ain't monopoly ain't no topping me
Bitch don’t start with me, I ain’t taking no apologies
I’m sorry G you falling deep, maybe should’ve thought about it
Why don’t you quit calling me
You stalling me, I gotta leave
I gotta go, I don't need you I ain't picking up my phone
Fuck you think this is
Bet you thought that I was interested
Isn’t it what you was thinking in yo head
Isn’t it why you was up all in my business
You loving yo self interest, you thinking bout yourself
Sucks I’m thinking bout your health
Sucks you thinking bout my wealth
Got me thinking like, got me thinking like, got me thinking like
Woah girl, you know that I’d never hurt you
So why the fuck you say that I’d desert you
Feels like I just totally deserve you
Guess my friends are right cause I ain’t seen the worse you
The song 'Girl' by The Base is a detailed portrayal of a dysfunctional relationship between a man and a woman. The song starts with the man saying that he doesn't know what he's done to hurt the woman. She keeps asking him what's wrong but he wishes they could get along instead of constantly fighting. The woman is mad at him but also wants him around, which confuses him. He wants her to pay more attention to him, but she's asking for too much and it's causing him financial and emotional strain. He believes that they are both flawed and he's getting tired of the constant conflict.
