About That Girl

"That Girl" is the debut single from R&B singer Marques Houston and the first taken from his debut album, MH in the U. S.. In the UK, however, "Clubbin'" was the first single from the album there. "That Girl" was originally for Ne-Yo, but Columbia Records dropped him, and the song was given to Houston. The song was his first single to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number sixty-three in the U. S. The single was due to be the fourth single from MH in the UK, however, due to the underperformance of the third single there, "Because of You", the single was cancelled, despite the video being serviced to television music channels there. The remix features singer R. Kelly.

Everyday I thank the lord above that your with me (your with me)
Tell me why would I throw that away (why would I throw that away)
What can I do to prove that this is where I want to be (yea)
So I may look occasionally 
Your the only one I need

*chorus
If I wanted, 
That girl
Then I would be with, 
That girl
But that one ain't for me
She's fine as hell but she'll always be, 
That girl
Nothing more then that gurl
No matter what she do she don't compare to you

What you yellin' for

Girl you acting as if you juss caught me cheatin'
When you look at other men
And don't act like you dunt
I don't trip because I know I'm the guy you come to every night

Oh I know I need you 
No other girl will do
Cause I need you right here with me

Nothing more then
That gurl
No matter what she do 
She just can't be you baby
