A Girl Named You Lyrics by Psalm One

2004

[Intro]
Wait a minute (Wait a minute)
Wait a minute (Wait a minute)
I'ma bring you home (huh)
Wait a minute (Wait a minute)
Wait a minute (Wait a minute)
Wait a minute (Wait a minute)
I'ma bring it all home (uh)
Wait a minute (Wait a minute)
Wait a minute (Wait a minute)
Wait a minute (Wait a minute)
I'ma bring you home (Wait a- uh)
Wait a minute (Wait a minute)
Wait a minute (Just wait a minute)
Wait a minute (Wait a minute)
I'ma bring it all home
[Verse]
When I was just about 10 years old
I walked up to the prospect of a cleaner soul and I
Clung tight to the preacher's robe
Brought down to the pulpit with my meek exposed
He was my uncle
And it was like the first Sunday
Of the month
I really had a thirst to pray
What a stunt
My momma just cried and cried
Filled up her loving chest with pride and I
Unbuckled
I gave it all to Him full of sin with a grin in my childish ways
I chuckled
Paved the way for grimacing[?] when I couldn't sit with my bible way
Wait a minute I
Forgive me father
I've altered[?] from the true callin' of a good Christian
I sin and I don't bother
To go to church
Don't sweat the meanings
But I know you gotta know I holla', check for Jesus
Back then
I spent every Sunday
Trapped on God's runway
Prayin' for Monday baby
Back then
I wore all those dresses
Dealt with the stresses
Of being so fresh it's crazy
I don't know how it all went down
But those church kids like to clown
Believe me
We would sneak up the street
Doing speeches by the preacher
Just a peek-a-boo sneakers crew[?]
You heard me
I'm sorry
I'm sorry for the sorry
I'm sorry for the parties
I'm sorry for the sloppy start you got my heart[?]
I'm sorry for the lottery, the robbery, the mockery
Stop me please
[Chorus]
And I know he's sayin'
What's up with a girl named you
What's up with a girl named you
And I know he's sayin'
What's up with a girl named you
What's up with a girl named you
And I know he's sayin'
What's up with a girl named you
What's up with a girl named you
And I know he's sayin'
What's up with a girl named you
What's up with a girl named you
[Bridge]
First there was two sets of footprints in the sand
Then there was one set of footprints in the sand
Then there was traces of my hand in his hand
Suddenly it all faded away
First there was two sets of footprints in the sand
Then there was one set of footprints in the sand
Then there was traces of my hand in his hand
Suddenly it all faded away
[Verse]
So I struggle with the prospect of Hell
The object of failin' the man upstairs
And I know I'm human
He knows I'm human
But every now and then I'm too tough to care
But my auntie prayed
That I would never stray
And I would feel guilt every time I did
So once in a while
I smile at the child
And cry for the woman who lies and fears
[Chorus]
And I know she's sayin'
What's up with a girl named you
What's up with a girl named you
And I know he's sayin'
What's up with a girl named you
What's up with a girl named you
And I know he's sayin'
What's up with a girl named you
What's up with a girl named you
And I know he's sayin'
What's up with a girl named you
What's up with a girl named you
