  • I got a girl crush
    Hate to admit it but
    I got a heart rush
    Ain't slowing down
    I got it real bad
    Want everything she has
    That smile and that midnight laugh
    She's giving you now

    I want to taste her lips
    Yeah, 'cause they taste like you
    I want to drown myself
    In a bottle of her perfume
    I want her long blonde hair
    I want her magic touch
    Yeah, 'cause maybe then
    You'd want me just as much
    I got a girl crush
    I got a girl crush

    I don't get no sleep
    I don't get no peace
    Thinking about her
    Under your bed sheets
    The way that she's whispering
    The way that she's pulling you in
    Lord knows I've tried
    I can't get her off my mind

    I want to taste her lips
    Yeah, 'cause they taste like you
    I want to drown myself
    In a bottle of her perfume
    I want her long blonde hair
    I want her magic touch
    Yeah, 'cause maybe then
    You'd want me just as much
    I got a girl crush

    I got a girl crush
    Hate to admit it but
    I got a heart rush
    It ain't slowing down Writer/s: Elisabeth Wagner Rose, Hillary Lee Lindsey, Lori Mckenna

  • Kawa from Tokyo, JapanI think this song was released in 2014. On that year, there was another controversial song called 'Same Love'. I think it was one of the songs nominated a Grammy nominees on that year. Also think that this song 'Girl Crush' was written under influenced by the song 'Same Love'. So the lyrics of the song 'Girl Crush' was controversial, too. Hope it'll help the explanation. Oh, by the way, the music came from the song 'It's A Heartache sung by Bonnie Tyler in 1980s. It was very similar, Very !
  • Camille from Toronto, OhHere are some reasons I don't like this song. The two women in Little Big Town have amazing voices, are knock-out gorgeous and incredibly successful yet they sing about crushing on another woman who has taken their man, so first of all, it comes across as not believable. With everything going for them, why are they singing a degrading song about wanting what another woman has to get a man back? The song does not empower women in any way. It bows down to the notion that a woman must be lacking in something if she lost her man, and that it's okay to want to change who you are to get him back because he is the important one in the relationship. I thought that was a thing of the 50s and 60s.

    The group sings another song that shows a bit more of a woman's backbone in their tune "Better Man". It is much more realistic.
  • K.c. from NhI honestly don't get the big deal about this song. It's not even close to the best song on the album. How much of the popularity is due to the controversy (which I didn't give a hangnail about) as opposed to the actual song?
