That Girl

"That Girl" peaked at #1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Soul Singles Chart in the Winter of 1982.

[Verse 1] That girl thinks that she's so fine That soon she'll have my mind That girl thinks that she's so smart That soon she'll have my heart She thinks in no time flat That she'll be free and clear to start With her emotional rescue of love that you'll leave torn apart That girl thinks that she's so bad She'll change my tears to joy from sad She says she keeps the upper hand Cause she can please her man She doesn't use her love to make him weak She uses love to keep him strong And inside me there's no room for doubt That it won't be too long [Chorus] Before I tell her that I love her That I want her That my mind and soul and body needs her Tell her that I'd love to, that I want to That I need to do all that I have to To be in her love [Verse 2] I've been hurting for a long time And you've been playing for a long time You know it's true I've been holding for a long time And you've been running for a long time It's time to do what we have to do That girl, That girl That girl knows every single man Would ask her for her hand But she says her love is much too deep For them to understand She says her love has been crying out But her lover hasn't heard But what she doesn't realize is that I've listened to every word [Chorus][x4] [Outro] That girl, that girl, that girl Oh, That girl, that girl, that girl, that girl
