Despite the song’s success, it has also generated controversy. Some conservative radio stations have refused to play it, claiming that the lyrics promote homosexuality. This interpretation of the song, however, is misguided. “Girl Crush” is not about a same-sex relationship, but rather about a woman’s jealousy of another woman’s relationship with a man. The “Girl Crush” song was written by Hillary Lindsey, Lori McKenna and Liz Rose. This tune won Song of the Year from the Nashville Songwriters Association on October 11, 2015.
Little Big Town Girl Crush Lyrics
I’ve got a girl crush
Hate to admit it but
I got a hard rush
It’s slowin’ down
I got it real bad
Want everything she has
That smile and that midnight laugh
She’s givin’ 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 blond hair
I want her magic touch
Yeah, ’cause maybe then
You’d want me just as much
I’ve got a girl crush
I’ve got a girl crush
I don’t get no sleep
I don’t get no peace
Thinkin’ about her
Under your bed sheets
The way that she’s whisperin’
The way that she’s pullin’ 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 blond hair
I want her magic touch
Yeah, ’cause maybe then
You’d want me just as much
I’ve got a girl crush
I’ve got a girl crush
Hate to admit it but
I got a heart rush
It ain’t slowin’ down
