That Girl Lyrics

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 turn apart That girl thinks that she's so bad She'll change my tears from joy to 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 Before I tell her that I love her That I want her That my mind, 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 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 That's why I know I'll tell that I love her That I want her That my mind, 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 Tell her 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 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... 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... That girl, that girl, that girl, Oh, That girl, that girl, that girl, that girl...

Meaning of That Girl

“That Girl” explores the yearning for a profound and devoted love, revealing a man’s quiet strength and attentive listening. The lyrics depict a woman who believes she controls the relationship, projecting an image of independence and emotional self-sufficiency – “she thinks that she's so bad.” However, the narrator has patiently observed her unspoken needs and genuine vulnerability, recognizing the depth beneath her carefully constructed facade. He’s been waiting, holding onto hope, while she’s been running away from true connection. Stevie Wonder conveys a message of unwavering patience and understanding, suggesting that real love isn't about control but about recognizing and responding to someone’s hidden heart. Ultimately, the song is an invitation for this “that girl” to acknowledge her need for love and allowing the narrator to fulfill that longing with heartfelt sincerity and devotion.
