About Grown Woman

"Grown Woman" is a song by American singer Kelly Rowland, recorded during the recording sessions for her third studio album Here I Am (2011). It was written by singer-songwriter Ne-Yo as well as Magnus Beite and Bernt Stray, and co-written and produced by Norwegian duo StarGate. The mid-tempo R&B song's lyrics revolve around Rowland "assert[ing] her maturity and clue[ing] her suitors in on what won't fly when it comes to relationships." It was conceived after Rowland approached Ne-Yo to work on her third album, and asked for a record which would declare she's grown. "Grown Woman" was described by critics as different from what is normally called R&B. It was serviced to Rhythmic, Urban, and Urban AC stations in the United States on June 29, 2010 as one of two lead singles for Here I Am It was also released for digital download in some parts of Europe, Canada, and the United States on July 26, 2010. It was moderately successful across the airplay formats as it debuted on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Chart at number eighty-seven, just two days after being serviced to radio. In subsequent weeks, the single peaked at number fifty-one. An accompanying music video for "Grown Woman" was reported to have been filmed in mid-late August 2010, but has not yet been released. Despite being moderately successful, "Grown Woman" was later excluded from Here I Am.

Said I'm so grown it's silly
I'm so above fussin', callin' and cussin'
Playin' little games at five thirty in the morn'
Said it's a shame and a pity,

How everybody throws up,
That they're a grown up,
They don't wanna call me breathin' on the phone.
And I dont understand how he was ever with you, 
'Cause he with me now
I'm so grown and intelligent
It's clearly evident that you're a child,
And honey playtime is not right now

But, I'm not gonna get on your level,
Not gonna pull me off my cool.
I'm such a grown ass woman,
I don't got the time to play high school.
You need to get on my level,
'cause right now you just look like a fool.
I'm such a grown ass woman,
I don't got the time to play high school.
I'm so above all of this and you.

You see, that I'm so grown it's silly,
I'm so above fussin'
But if I wasn't,
I'd probably be halfway to your house.
But I'm such a damn lady,
I'm not gonna mess up my hair,
Tryin' to go there,
Break a damn nail or a heel tryin' to knock you out.
But you would have a problem, no doubt
No doubt.

But, I'm not gonna get on your level,
Not gonna pull me off my cool.
I'm such a grown ass woman,
I don't got the time to play high school.
You need to get on my level,
'Cause right now you just look like a fool.

I'm such a grown ass woman,
I don't got the time to play high school.
I'm so above all of this and you.

I could go back and forth,
Yelling screaming with you,
But be the bigger person,
Is what I choose to do.
I'm his everything now,
All that he never knew,
He could have all he wants with you,
So get a clue,
So get a clue,
He's done with you.

But, I'm not gonna get on your level,
Not gonna pull me off my cool.
I'm such a grown ass woman,
I don't got the time to play high school.
You need to get on my level,
'Cause right now you just look like a fool.
I'm such a grown ass woman,
I don't got the time to play high school.

I'm not gonna get on your level,
Not gonna pull me off my cool.
I'm such a grown ass woman,
I don't got the time to play high school.

I'm so above all of this and you.
You, you
